Abstract

Acting on climate forecasts in summer 2015, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) rapidly designed and executed the first field campaign to intensively observe atmospheric conditions over the tropical Pacific during a strong El NinÃo. NOAA initiated the El NinÃo Rapid Response (ENRR). The ENRR included an observational field campaign led by NOAA/ESRL/PSD, together with model experiments intended to optimize the campaign's field strategy and support services during the event. Ultimately, the full ENRR involved coordination across NOAA and important contributions from external partners. Our focus here is on the ENRR field campaign, the first of its kind to intensively observe atmospheric conditions in the region of enhanced deep convection over the central tropical Pacific during an El NinÃo.
