Quinn, W.H. 1972. Use of the Southern Oscillation in 

 weather prediction. Appl . Meteorol. 11:616-628. 



Use of newly available Easter Island records 

 improved the forecasting of weather and lead 

 time of the forecast of abnormally heavy 

 equatorial rainfall. 



KEY WORDS: meteorology, wind, weather, cur- 

 rents. Southern Oscillation index. 



Quinn, W.H. 1974. Monitoring and predicting El Nino 

 invasions. J. Appl. Meteorol. 13:825-830. 



By monitoring the atmospheric pressure be- 

 tween two points he was able to develop a 

 forecasting scheme for predicting El Nino 3 

 months in advance, and could anticipate the 

 occurrence of El Nino 9 to 13 months in 

 advance . 



KEY WORDS: atmospheric pressure. El Nino.

 1978. Historical trends and statistics of the 

 Southern Oscillation, El Nino, and Indonesian 

 droughts. Fish. Bull., U.S. 76:663-678. 



Defined and described El Nino and anti-El 

 Nino-type events; and gave their character- 

 istics. He used monthly mean values and 

 anomalies from a weather record of 116-year 

 extent to detect major changes. He discussed 

 forecasting potential for predicting El Nino 

 events . 



KEY WORDS: oceanography, atmospheric pres- 

 sure. Southern Oscillation index, history.
