El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is a large circulation pattern that affects weather everywhere. This research focuses on severe weather (tornadoes, hail, and damaging winds) and how ENSO affects it. The expected results entail that certain phases of ENSO will cause severe weather to occur in specific areas.
