- El Niño and La Niña - National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
By influencing global temperatures and precipitation, the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) significantly impacts Earth’s ecosystems and human societies El Niño and La Niña are opposite extremes of the ENSO, which refers to cyclical environmental conditions that occur across the Equatorial Pacific Ocean These changes are due to natural interactions between the ocean and atmosphere
- Understanding El Niño - National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
El Nino has its largest impacts during the winter In the winter, El Niño typically brings milder weather to the northern parts of the United States and wetter conditions across the southern United States The opposite of El Niño is La Niña, the cold phase, which also changes weather worldwide
- El Niño and La Niña Explained | Ocean Today
Transcript NARRATOR: Warmer or colder than average ocean temperatures in one part of the world can influence weather around the globe - boggles the mind, right? Here’s how it works During normal conditions, trade winds, which blow from east to west, push warm surface waters towards Asia, piling it up in the western Pacific In some years though, the trade winds weaken The warm surface
- Investigating El Niño: For students | National Oceanic and Atmospheric . . .
For studentsThis activity uses a series of interactive web maps, apps, and high resolution images to help you learn about El Niño using real data from NOAA
- El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) - National Oceanic and Atmospheric . . .
Further research found that El Niño is actually part of a much larger global variation in the atmosphere called ENSO (El Niño Southern Oscillation) The Southern Oscillation describes changes in air pressure patterns in the Southern Pacific Ocean between Tahiti, in the middle of the southern Pacific Ocean, and Darwin, Australia, to the west Normally, lower pressure over Darwin and higher
- Forecasting El Niño and La Niña| Ocean Today
El Niño and La Niña are periodic weather patterns resulting from interactions between the ocean and the atmosphere in the tropical Pacific Ocean
