Extract

The El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon occurs irregularly and supra-annually at intervals of 2–7 y (Hughen et al. 1999, McPhaden et al. 2006), and is the strongest source of supra-annual climate fluctuation (Hughen et al. 1999, Philander 1990). During ENSO, the interior of the South-East Asian tropics, which is characterized by constant high temperature and no distinct dry season, experiences severe drought (Walsh 1996).
