It is one phase of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) cycle.; (2) La Niña La Niña, meaning "The Little Girl" in Spanish, is the cool phase of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) cycle. It's characterized by unusually cold ocean temperatures in the central and ...
In such a case the distribution describing precipitation at a site is not constant in time, meaning that the population characteristics have not remained the same throughout the century. Here we show that when this variability is taken into account, it alters the effect of El Ni卤o-Southern ...
Also, if we look at the linear trends of the NINO3.4 sea surface anomalies since 1900 for the average of the HADISST, ERSST.v3b, and Kaplan sea surface temperature reconstructions, the linear trend is basically flat, meaning there hasn’t been any warming in the eastern equatorial Pacifi...
In the region south of the Great Lakes, the NAO risk factor is between 2 and 4, meaning that a negative phase NAO extreme rainfall event is up to four times more likely under the positive phase. This dipole pattern in north and south eastern North America is consistent with previous ...
Early adopters benefit the most, there is no incentive for more producers to adopt after 60 to 95% have adopted (meaning the adoption ceiling has been reached), and slower adoption corresponds to ceilings closer to 60 than 95%. When individual countries must decide whether or not to invest ...
However, because the La Nia event in 2010 was stronger than that in 2016, the salinity anomalies in 2010 were also stronger and the decrease in the following year was both stronger and lasted longer, meaning that the salinity anomalies weakened only gradually. The maximum value of the salinity...
Meaning, the expected date of the ENSO event’s occurrence, compared to a regular four-year cycle. According to their results and conclusions, almost all CP-ENSO events occur exclusively during the first semester every two years, and no EP-ENSO events can occur at the same time. So, ...
However, the appearance of the regional precipitation type seems to have physical meaning since their signal showed consistency with synoptic scale atmospheric circulation (SLP, 850 hPa wind). In addition, these results comply well with the fact that El Niño winters have weak winter patterns [4...
It is located in a few areas in the middle of the equatorial PO, meaning that when CHLA drops abnormally, strong El Niño events will occur. ISPRS Int. J. Geo-Inf. 2017, 6, 32 7 of 15 of the equatorial PO from 125◦ W to 95◦ W. Only one association pattern between CHLA ...
In addition, the relation with “ENSO[+2]→SSPA[−1]” scatters the margins of the above association patterns, meaning that when a strong El Niño event occurs, SSPA will drop slightly. The association pattern between ENSO and WSA is shown in Figure 4c When strong La Niña events ...
