El Niño causes the Pacific jet stream to move south and spread further east. During winter, this leads to wetter conditions than usual in the Southern U.S. and warmer and drier conditions in the North. El Niño also has a strong effect on marine life off the Pacific coast.

El Niño isn’t all bad; some of the changes it causes in atmospheric circulation can reduce the chances of severe hurricanes in the North Atlantic. But many other changes are highly destructive and dangerous, so advance warning of El Niño’s approach is …

1997年10月7日 · El Niño isn’t all bad; some of the changes it causes in atmospheric circulation can reduce the chances of severe hurricanes in the North Atlantic. But many other changes are highly destructive and dangerous, so advance warning of El Niño’s approach is extremely important for emergency preparation.

The 2015 outlook, beginning in May 2015 through April 2016, showed that mid-Atlantic and West Coast communities may experience an increase over the trend in the number of nuisance flooding days is likely due to higher sea levels during El Niño, …

modes such as the El Niño–Southern Oscillation. Nevertheless, if we assume that regional sea level will keep following its present trajectory for the coming three decades, most U.S. regions are mostly tracking between

2024年6月16日 · The horse latitudes are located at about 30 degrees north and south of the equator. It is common in this region of the subtropics for winds to diverge and either flow toward the poles (known as the prevailing westerlies) or toward the equator (known as the trade winds).

and driven heavily by the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO; Boening et al. 2012; Fasullo et al., 2013; Pie- cuch and Quinn, 2016; Hamlington et al., 2020a, 2020b]. At the regional level, rates of sea level rise can deviate significantly from the globally averaged rate.

2024年6月16日 · Winds blowing across the ocean surface push water away. Water then rises up from beneath the surface to replace the water that was pushed away. This process is known as upwelling.

Many people are interested in climate change and how a changing climate will affect the ocean. With the majority of Americans living in coastal states, rising water levels can have potentially large impacts.

The combination of the back-to-back El Niño and La Niña meant that a lot of areas warmed up during the El Niño, bleaching was severe all across the world, some areas don’t warm during an El Niño, but do during a La Niña and boom they got hit the next year.
