El Nino's Soggy Secret
 Washington - May 09, 2003
Researchers have discovered how El Nino moves rainfall around the globe and are calling it El Nino's soggy secret. They did so by identifying rainfall patterns in the Pacific Ocean during the life of these periodic climate events, during which waters in the eastern Pacific Ocean warm up.

  • NASA Ties El Nino Induced Drought To Record Air Pollution
    Greenbelt - Apr 30, 2003
    Scientists using NASA satellite data have found the most intense global pollution from fires occurred during droughts caused by El Nino. The most intense fires took place in 1997-1998 in association with the strongest El Nino event of the 20th century.

    Sand Chokes Life From Australia's Drought-Stricken Rivers
    Sydney - Feb 11, 2003
    One quarter of rivers in southern Australia are choked with sand where once there were deep pools and rocky bars.

    Ocean Surface Saltiness Influences El Nino Forecasts
    Greenbelt - Jan 31, 2003
    NASA sponsored scientists have discovered by knowing the salt content of the ocean's surface, they may be able to improve the ability to predict El Nino events. Scientists, studying the western Pacific Ocean, find regional changes in the saltiness of surface ocean water correspond to changes in upper ocean heat content in the months preceding an El Nino event. Knowing the distribution of surface salinity may help predict events.

    Tree-Ring Study Reveals Long History Of El Nino
    Moffett Field - Jan 6, 2003
    El Nino is not a new weather phenomenon, according to a recent NASA study that looks 750 years into the past using tree-ring records.

    Evidence That El Nino Influences 2000 Year Global Climate Cycle
    Syracuse - Nov 18, 2002
    El Nino, the pattern that can wreak havoc on climate conditions around the world, is like a beacon, pulsating through time on a 2,000 year cycle, according to a new study by scientists from Syracuse University, Syracuse, N.Y.; Union College, Schenectady, N.Y., and from the NOAA Paleoclimatology Program, Boulder, Colo., that is being published in the Nov. 14 issue of Nature.

    Pacific Ocean Temperature Changes Point To Natural Climate Variability
    College Station - Nov 18, 2002
    Analysis of long-term changes in Pacific Ocean temperatures may provide additional data with which to evaluate global warming hypotheses.

  • As Summer Starts, Next El Nino Is Slow To Grow
    Pasadena - June 27, 2002
    The Pacific Ocean doesn't show signs of anything that looks like the whopper El Ni�o of 1997-1998, according to the latest information from the U.S.-French ocean-observing satellite Topex/Poseidon. The data do show that the mid-equatorial Pacific Ocean has slowly warmed by about 1 degree Celsius (1. 8 degrees Fahrenheit) above normal in the past few months. However, the Pacific continues to be dominated by the larger-than-El Ni�o/La Ni�a pattern called the Pacific Decadal Oscillation, which may discourage El Ni�o development.

    Study Links El Nino To Deadly South American Disease
    Greenbelt - Jan 21, 2002
    In a groundbreaking collaborative study, NASA climatologists and U.S. military health specialists may have discovered a way to predict outbreaks of a deadly South American disease by observing sea surface temperature.

    El Nino Predictions Up To Nine Months Ahead
    Aspendale - Nov 26, 2001
    The question of when and how hard the next El Nino or La Nina will hit can now be answered up to nine months ahead of the event, thanks to work by CSIRO's climate scientists.
