Abstract

We studied the occurrence of ENSO (El Niño-Southern Oscillation) events in relation to solar activity conditions and we found that the events are distributed in two populations, one that could be associated with low latitude coronal holes which occur along the ascending phase of the cycle and the other one which could be related to polar holes present at the end of the descending phase. As highly anomalous solar activity, in terms of flares and coronal holes, occurred in March of this year, we propose that an ENSO event is likely to occur by the end of the year.
