The El Niño–Southern Oscillation is a single climate phenomenon that quasi-periodically fluctuates between three phases: Neutral, La Niña or El Niño. [12] La Niña and El Niño are opposite phases which require certain changes to take place in both the ocean and the atmosphere before an event is declared. [12]
According to a recent NOAA update on the status of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation, the atmosphere across large parts of the world has resembled a La Niña state, but traditional sea-surface ...
The current El Niño is now one of the strongest on record, new data shows, catapulting it into rare “super El Niño” territory, but forecasters believe that La Niña is likely to develop in ...
El Niño is a natural climate event caused by the Southern Oscillation, popularly known as El Niño or also in meteorological circles as El Niño-Southern Oscillation or ENSO, [6] through which global warming of the eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean results in the development of unusually warm waters between the coast of South America and the ...
Winter temperatures in a weak La Niña are a north-to-south split. The north-central U.S. tends to be colder than average in La Niña winters. The South often sees above-average temperatures, but ...
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 ...
A major key to shaping weather patterns worldwide is found in the tropical Pacific Ocean, far from any mainland. Known as the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), this climate phenomenon is the ...
