- All about ENSO, and lunar tides (Paul Pukite) Historically, ENSO has been explained in terms of winds. But recently — and Dr Paul Pukite has insisted upon this for a long time — the oscillation of ENSO has been explained as a large-scale slosh due to lunar tidal forcing.

“Thank you, congressman. Here at the USGS we follow the laws of nature, not the laws of man.”
Science journals Editor-in-Chief Dr Marcia McNutt discusses the Western Hemisphere-wide crisis brought on on massive drought. Dr McNutt concludes her editorial with: Surface- and groundwater are all part of one coupled system, responding on different time scales to changes in … Continue reading
