The El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) spawned in the tropical Pacific is the most prominent year-to-year climate fluctuation on Earth, with a global reach and a legion of societal and environmental impacts. Its general dynamics are reasonably well understood
and they involve ocean-atmosphere interactions that modify the Walker circulation in the equatorial Pacific. However, the ENSO also exhibits considerable spatio-temporal complexity, for example a pronounced event-to-event diversity and asymmetry as well as
fundamental nonlinearities. This so-called ENSO complexity hinders practical predictions and climate change assessment from general circulation models, and it also challenges current understanding.<br>
<br>
The ENSO basin-scale dynamics are rather low-dimensional and can be encapsulated by relatively simple mathematical models such as the recharge-discharge model. We will briefly review these fundamentals of ENSO theory before discussing recent extensions that
allow grasping more advanced spatio-temporal features. The background Walker circulation in the Tropical Pacific for example shows pronounced zonal movements, or spatial shifting, as delineated by the edge of the western Pacific warm pool. Including this process
in the conventional recharge-discharge model improves spatio-temporal complexity with notably the ability to grasp distinct El Niño spatial patterns as well as a fundamental nonlinearity between principal components of SST. Broad perspectives include the study
of climate change sensitivity as well as multiscale and pantropical interactions.</div>
