　　El Nino

　　While some forecasting methods had limited SUCCESS predicting the 1997 E1 Nino a few months in advance，the Columbia University researchers say their method call predict large E1 Nino events up to two years in advance.That would be good news for governments，farmers and others seeking to plan for the droughts and heavy rainfall that El Nino can produce in various parts of the world.

　　Using a computer the researchers matched sea-surface temperatures to later El Nino occurrences between 1980 and 2000 and were then able to anticipate E1 Nino events dating back to1857, using prior sea-surface temperatures.The results were reported in the latest issue of the journal Nature.

　　The researchers say their method is not perfect, but Bryan C.Weare.a meteorologist at the University of California, Davis，who was not involved in the work，said itsuggestsE1 Nino is indeed predictable.

　　This will probably convince others to search around more for even better methods.said Weare.He added that the new methodmakes it possible to predict El Nino at 1ong lead times. Other models also use sea-surface temperatures, but they have not looked as far back because they need other data，which is only available for recent decades，Weare said.
