west coast of South America, El Niño's warm waters persist and deepen, and cold, upwelling, nutrient-rich waters fail to reach surface waters; the resulting warm, nutrient-poor waters devastate coastal fisheries. Heavy rain falls along the South American coast, and heavy rainfall also moves ...
Along the West Coast, El Niño conditions tend to bring higher sea level and bigger winter waves, which together can create more flooding and storm damage along the coast. They also can shift the direction of storm waves to come from the southwest, rather than from the west, which has be...
Spectral characteristics of sea level variability along the west coast of North America during the 1982-83 and 1997-98 El Nino events We use hourly sea level records from southern California to the Aleutian Islands to examine low-frequency variability in the northeast Pacific during the 1... MM...

La Nina, also known as El Viejo, Anti El Nino, or a “cold occurrence,” means “little girl” in Spanish. 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 ...
How real is the risk from El Nino? Meanwhile, colder water rises to the ocean surface off the coast of South America, in place of the water being dragged by the winds toward Asia. This colder water brings cooler temperatures and carries nutrients that benefit marine life near the surface. ...
