Following the El Nino event in 1997 – 1998, the Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory attributes the first large-scale coral bleaching event to the warming waters. [169] Most critically, global mass bleaching events were recorded in 1997-98 and 2015–16, when around 75-99% losses of live coral were registered across the world.
Across Alaska, El Niño events do not have a correlation towards dry or wet conditions; however, La Niña events lead to drier than normal conditions.During El Niño events, increased precipitation is expected in Southern California, Arizona, and New Mexico due to a more southerly, zonal, storm track over the Southwest, leading to increased winter snowpack, but a more subdued summer monsoon ...
The 2009–2010 El Niño event started in the Pacific Ocean during July 2009, before it reached it peaked during December and broke down during the first quarter of 2010. [5] [6] The climate of the Pacific Ocean subsequently returned to neutral conditions by the end of April, while climate models used and developed by various meteorological agencies, subsequently started to show signs that a ...
El Nino Reshapes the Weather. The third state is El Niño, which occurs when sea surface temperatures in the tropical Pacific rise to above-normal levels for an extended period of time. El Niño ...
Weakening sea surface temperature anomalies in the tropical Pacific in early 2023 associated with the end of the La Niña event. The 2020–2023 La Niña event was unusual in that it featured three consecutive years of La Niña conditions (also called a "triple-dip" La Niña) in contrast to the typical 9–12 month cycles of the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO), [3] though the magnitude ...
El Niño and La Niña greatly affect weather conditions worldwide. The last El Niño was in 2018-2019.
El Niño doesn’t have as big of an impact on the Pacific Northwest in the spring and summer, National Weather Service meteorologist Joel Tannenholz previously told the Idaho Statesman.
The North Atlantic oscillation in Winter 2009/10 was lower than during any winter in over a century and this resulted in more easterly winds bringing cold air into Northern Europe from Siberia and the Arctic. Scientists have shown that El Niño, the quasi-biennial oscillation [3] and solar variability all conspired to drive this extreme winter.
