El Nino

El Niño is a phenomenon that occurs repeatedly over centuries. Human beings are beginning to recognize how much the weather is affected by the world. The term El Nino represents irregular warming of the sea surface. Over the past 40 years, 10 ElNiño events have occurred. Most affect the coast of South America. The water temperature along the coast rises to the Galapagos Islands. In weak events the water temperature rises by 2 - 4 ° C and there is little effect on fishing.

What is the influence of the El Niño phenomenon to the United States? The El Nino phenomenon affects the great winter airflow in the eastern North Pacific and North America. There are considerable variations in the characteristics of the ElNiño event from event to event, and in some areas the impact may vary from event to event. However, especially with regard to El Nino 's strong events, the influence of some parts of the United States is fairly consistent and predictable. Generally, ElNiño will be as follows.

It is not El Niño either. Please do not persuade someone that in 2015 it was a record year thanks to El Nino. Without ElNiño, this would be a record year. The El Nino phenomenon affects the climate of the Western hemisphere every few years. This is a very complex phenomenon, the Earth experiences the harsh warm weather - El Niño - and then enters the cooling period called Lanina. In the past few years, we were in La Niña era. Despite the continuing addition of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, resistance to climate change is taking advantage of this opportunity to claim that climate change has stopped in some way. In the climate change problem, the Senate will throw a dramatic curve ball in the form of an actual snowball in 2015 with a self-righteous and familiar scientific appeal, and one of many blizzards that broke the record in 2015 I was suffering.

In order to understand the typical influence that El Niño phenomenon gives to the area, we examine the climate database to see the trends observed in past El Niño winter compared with Lanina and ENSO neutral winter. This comparison is shown in the box below and whisker for the climate sector # 24 covering most of the central and eastern part of Illinois. Boxplot diagrams show the percentage range (left) and temperature (right) of precipitation for three different ENSO categories. Data is from 1950 - 2010.
