Get Ready for Next Climate Phenomenon: El Nino
2014-03-06 23:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: For West Coasters sick of the ridiculously resilient ridge of high pressure and East Coasters tired of hearing about the polar vortex, get ready for a new climate phenomenon to dominate headlines. El Nio could be making a return this fall after a 4-year hiatus, changing rainfall and temperature patterns across the world. It could even boost the odds of 2014 being the globe's hottest year on record. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration issued an El Nio Watch on Thursday, indicating...

Warming climate will bring more extreme 'El Nino' events

Ecologist: Rising global temperatures are likely to double the frequency of the most severe El Nios - the periodic atmospheric disruptions which affect weather across the globe. Tim Radford reports. An El Nio is part of a natural cycle: a huge blister of heat in the equatorial Pacific, usually around Christmas-time. The phenomenon periodically triggers unseasonal floods in the western US, and extreme heat and forest fires in the Indonesian rainforest and the Australian bush. It happens and seems to have...

Global Warming to Accelerate Strong El Nino Events in the Future
2014-01-20 11:32:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World News: Be prepared for extreme weather in the future, scientists say. According to a latest study, strong El Nio events will double in the next few decades due to global warming. These events occurred once every 20 years, but will occur once every ten years or so in the future. The study was conducted by researchers at ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate System Science (CoECSS), the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and CSIRO. El Nino is characterized by warm temperatures in...

Ecuador in new probe to see if climate change worsens El Nino
2013-11-09 09:53:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
PhysOrg: Think Galapagos and you think nature in its most pristine expression. But the destructive weather phenomenon called El Nino turns coral reefs there a sickly white and sea iguanas scrawny. And now, in an unprecedented experiment, scientists using unmanned submarines in the waters off the Ecuadoran archipelago are probing whether global warming is related to El Nino. There is not yet conclusive evidence of a link. But experts are very serious about the possibility that climate change is making...
