Focuses on the effects of the El Nino, a reoccurring climatic weather condition. Details on the increase of extreme weather events in the United States; In-depth look at the health consequences of climate changes; Reference made to the economic impacts of diseases of humans, marine life and ...

During an El Nino event, northern states in the US and western Canada tend to have warmer winters, southern states tend to have more precipitation, and the eastern part of the United States tends to be drier. In Antarctica, the Ross Sea, which is south of the Pacific Ocean, will see le...
El Nino-Southern Oscillation is known to have significant impact on United States hydroclimatology. The warm and cool phases of ENSO, El Nino and La Nina respectively, tend to have opposite effects in certain regions of the western US. These effects are also in opposition between the Pacific ...
El Niño and La Niña: the causes and effects on climate, people and energy Sometimes, in the Pacific Ocean, abnormal turbulence or disturbances can alter the regular pattern of winds and thus ocean currents: the result is an increase in water surface temperatures. When this warming is more...
also was blammed for a severe ice storm in the NE United States and neighboring parts of Canada; estimates of the losses due to it worldwide range from $32 billion to three times that. El Niños can also have positive economic effects; warmer weather in the N United States, for example...
We have chosen to organize these effects by the direct El Niño-induced change (fire and drought, increased rain, increased water temperature, and current changes) rather than the more common biome-based approach. Show moreView chapterExplore book Observations of the 1997-98 El Nino along the...
It is the opposite of El Nino. During La Nina, stronger trade winds push warmer water towards Asia. This causes cold, nutrient-rich water to rise off the west coast of the United States, leading to more marine life. The cold Pacific waters push the jet stream north, causing droughts in...
Increased rainfall is usually seen in parts of southern South America, the southern United States, the Horn of Africa and central Asia, while severe droughts can occur over Australia, Indonesia and parts of southern Asia. During summer in the northern hemisphere, El Nino's warm wa...
El Nino commodity risk However, a quick end to drought in the western United States would have a variety of benefits. Lower corn and soybeans prices would mean lower costs to feed livestock. That eventually could bring down meat prices fromtheir current record highs. ...
