Modeling experiments show weather-changing El Niño oscillation is at least 250 million years old
The El Niño event, a huge blob of warm ocean water in the tropical Pacific Ocean that can change rainfall patterns around the globe, isn't just a modern phenomenon.
El Niño and La Niña May Have Affected Weather For At Least 250 Million Years
New modeling research has shown that the natural global climate phenomena known as El Niño and its cold counterpart, La Niña, have been occurring for the last 250 million years. Although these complex weather patterns are the drivers of extreme weather changes today,
Weather-changing El Nino oscillation is at least 250 million years old
A new modeling study shows that the El Nino event, a huge blob of warm ocean water in the tropical Pacific Ocean that can change rainfall patterns around the globe, was present at least 250 million years in the past,
250 million-year-old El Niño was more intense than modern events, finds study
Two main factors seem to determine El Niño intensity: thermal structure of the ocean and atmospheric noise—the variability of surface winds.
What is the difference between El Niño and La Niña climate phenomena?
The differences between the two common weather systems create the conditions that cause the disastrous hurricanes that have been seen in 2024.
