The butterfly effect suggests that small changes in a system can have a large impact on eventual outcomes. One metaphor used ...

A new international study led by researchers at Tulane University shows that the El Niño and La Niña climate patterns affect nearly half of the world's mangrove forests, underscoring the vulnerability ...

The strong El Nino weather condition that added a bit of extra heat to already record warm global temperatures is gone. It's cool flip side, La Nina, is likely to breeze in just in time for peak ...

Southern Oscillation’s global reach and complex ocean–atmosphere interactions across timescales, two simple, elegant equations capture its key dynamics and defining properties.

A new international study led by researchers at Tulane University shows that the El Niño and La Niña climate patterns affect nearly half of the world's mangrove forests, underscoring the ...

Get ready to revisit a familiar, yet often disruptive, climate phenomenon. After a period of relative quiet, La Niña is ...

IF you are old enough you will most likely remember the 1997-1998 El Niño event. One of the strongest El Niños on record, it brought severe droughts, haze, crop failures, and water rationing.

meaning neither El Niño nor La Niña are in control. ENSO-neutral years are notoriously difficult to predict, producing everything from below-average to hyperactive hurricane seasons, depending ...

FOX 35 meteorologist Laurel Blanchard explains the difference between El Niño and La Niña, part of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation, and how it can impact the Atlantic hurricane season in the ...

To monitor the Pacific Ocean for signs of El Niño or La Niña, climatologists use several SST indices. These indices measure the difference between the current sea surface temperature and its long-term ...
