A time series describing the El-Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is analyzed using the latest techniques of chaos theory. The methods which rely on resampling statistics were developed to more finely distinguish between nonlinearity and linear correlated noise. From the results significant nonlinear structure arising from ENSO dynamics on the monthly time scale is established. 14 refs., 4 figs.
