Slower sea level rise linked to El Nino and natural weather patterns
2014-03-25 08:59:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
RTCC: Slower sea level rise in the past decade is due to the influence of natural weather patterns and especially the El Nino cycle, scientists say. Climate change is causing sea level rise both through thermal expansion, where the sea expands as it warms, and through melting of glaciers and ice sheets, which is adding to the amount of water in the sea. But natural variation can change the rate of sea level rise from year to year. A particularly important short-term influence is the cyclical El...

El Nino likely in 2014, Australian Bureau of Meteorology says
2014-03-25 05:33:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Climate models show an increased chance of a 2014 El Nino weather event, said Australia's bureau of meteorology, leading to possible droughts in Southeast Asia and Australia and floods in South America, which could hit key rice, wheat and sugar crops. The Australian Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) said an El Nino could occur during the southern hemisphere winter, May-July, with Australian cattle and grain farmers already struggling with drought which has cut production. The last El Nino in 2009/10...

Japan sees higher chance of El Nino this summer
2014-03-10 07:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: There is a greater possibility of an El Nino weather pattern emerging this summer, Japan's weather bureau said on Monday, after previously forecasting a 50 percent chance of the phenomenon that is often linked to heavy rainfall and droughts. El Nino - a warming of sea-surface temperatures in the Pacific - can trigger drought in Southeast Asia and Australia and floods in South America, hitting production of key foods such as rice, wheat and sugar. The potential disruption to supply would come...

From Drought, To Drenching? El Nino Likely To Return With Torrential Rain
2014-03-08 17:05:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Associated Press: Warmer ocean temperatures off the California coast--and the massive impact on local and global climate--could be coming again, with predictions indicating an El Nio is possible this year. The expected conditions would lead to more rain this coming winter, lessening California`s drought, and the southern states` drought, plus a milder winter for the nation`s frigid northern states, and fewer Atlantic hurricanes. Mike Halpert, acting director of NOAA`s Climate Prediction Center, says the El...

El Nino could strike as early as summer: U.S. forecaster
2014-03-07 07:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: The much-feared El Nino phenomenon, the warming of sea surface temperatures in the Pacific which can trigger drought in Southeast Asia and Australia and floods in South America, could strike as early as the Northern Hemisphere summer, the U.S. weather forecaster warned on Thursday. In its strongest prediction in almost 18 months that El Nino could return, the Climate Prediction Center (CPC) said in its monthly report that neutral El Nino conditions will likely continue through the spring, but...
