Global Warming And The Future Of El Nino

RedOrbit: A new study published in the journal Nature says that climate change could have a negative impact on the El Nio-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) weather pattern. El Nio occurs in the Pacific Ocean and is an important part of the worlds climate system, and new research shows how rising temperatures could affect the weather pattern in the future. During El Nio, the eastern and tropical Pacific regions of the planet warm up, while during La Nia these areas get a little chillier. These weather patterns...

Global warming will increase intensity of El Nino, scientists say
2013-10-14 10:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BBC: Scientists say they are more certain than ever about the impact of global warming on a critical weather pattern. The El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) occurs in the Pacific Ocean but plays an important part in the world's climate system. Researchers have until now been unsure as to how rising temperatures would affect ENSO in the future. But this new study suggests that droughts and floods driven by ENSO will be more intense. The ENSO phenomenon plays a complicated role in the global...

El Nino outlook neutral into Northern Hemisphere spring: NOAA
2013-10-10 16:38:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said on Thursday the El Nino phenomenon is unlikely to cause extreme weather in the Northern Hemisphere into spring 2014. In its monthly report, the Climate Prediction Center (CPC) said that atmospheric and oceanic conditions over the last month indicated a neutral El Nino forecast heading into the spring, with warmer conditions gradually increasing. The weather pattern can cause flooding and heavy rains in the United States and South America...

US study says El Nino, climate change link fuzzy
2013-01-06 06:09:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Agence France-Presse: The frequency and volatility of El Nino, a weather pattern that hammers the tropical Pacific Ocean every five years or so, does not seem linked to climate change, said US research released Thursday. The study involved scientists measuring the monthly growth of ancient coral fossils found on two tropical Pacific islands to determine what, if any, impact the warming climate had on the weather phenomenon. By reconstructing temperatures and precipitation over the millenniums, the study compared...

Global Warming-El Nino Link Stronger but Still Not Proven
2013-01-04 00:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: The natural climate cycle known as the El Nio/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) would wreak havoc even if humans weren't warming the planet. During its El Nio phase, the Americas get floods and torrential rains while Asia suffers drought. When it swings over to the La Nia phase, it's the opposite. But humans are warming the planet, and a report published Thursday in Science says that both phases of ENSO have become more intense over the past century, suggesting that as warming continues, ENSO may become...
