Anplis de chanjman nan klima, pwosesis natirèl opere nan kondwi chanjman ki fèt nan oseyan-atmosfè sistèm lan. Pou egzanp, la El Niño osilasyon sid la (ENSO) refere a de faz ekstrèm nan yon sikolojik ki rive natirèlman sik (El Niño ak La Niña). ENSO se youn nan karakteristik ki pi dominan nan varyasyon klima sezon-a-entèrnyèl, ak mennen nan planèt la anomala nan lès Ekwatoryal Oseyan Pasifik la. Syantis yo pa sèten si chanjman nan klima pral afekte frekans lan oswa entansite nan sistèm nan ENSO sou syèk la 21st, men rechèch sijere ke ENSO kapab agrav enpak yo nan chanjman klima, patikilyèman pou koray reef ekosistèm ak kominote yo ki depann sou yo.

In addition to climate change, natural processes operate to drive changes in the ocean-atmosphere system. For example, the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) refers to two extreme phases of a naturally occurring climate cycle (El Niño and La Niña). ENSO is one of the most dominant features of seasonal-to-interannual climate variability, and leads to anomalous warming in the eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean. Scientists are not sure whether climate change will affect the frequency or intensity of the ENSO system over the 21st century, but research suggests that ENSO could exacerbate the impacts of climate change, particularly for coral reef ecosystems and the communities that depend upon them.
