Welcome to the CLIVAR ENSO metrics package

The CLIVAR ENSO Metrics package proposes metric collections addressing science questions about the evaluation of ENSO in climate models. It is scientifically managed by the group of ENSO experts from CLIVAR panels and Research Foci. Technically, the project aims to develop a pilot science / IT interface to easily include this package in state-of-the-art model evaluation frameworks. More on context and goals here.

Scientific resources:

• Metric collections

Technical resources:

• Science-IT interface
