- Abstract
The article discusses about the uncertainties regarding the multidecadal- to millennial-scale evolution of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation phenomenon. According to the article, although there has already been an establishment of the El Niño phenomenon's main characteristics, there are still uncertainties about its evolution which might be due to the shortness of its instrumental record or the limited proxy data available in terms of both time and space. The article then tries to examine the possibility of using the tree rings of Kauri (Agathis australis), a long-lived tree endemic in New Zealand. The article concludes that Kauri has enough ENSO event capture skill to make it a useful addition for further multi- proxy ENSO reconstruction projects.
