- El Niño prolongs longest global coral bleaching event
Global warming and the current intense El Niño are prolonging the longest global coral die-off on record, according to NOAA scientists, who will will present the latest global bleaching update and outlook Friday, Feb 26 at the 2016 Ocean Sciences Meeting in New Orleans
- 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
- 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
- Lesson 11: El Niño
Lesson 11 applies the information students have already learned about oceanic-atmospheric interactions to explain and explore the El Niño phenomenon The lecture describes the physical mechanisms behind El Niño and explains how scientists determine whether an El Niño event is occurring In the activity, students then interpret real NOAA data to decide whether they think 2009-2010 was an El
- Data in the Classroom - National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
With NOAA’s Data in the Classroom, students use historical and real-time NOAA data to explore today’s most pressing environmental issues Each of the five modules addresses research questions, includes stepped levels of engagement, and builds students’ abilities to understand, interpret, and think critically about data Explore the online modules and educator resources below
