How Does El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) Affect Salmon?

This article was originally published on climate.gov When we discuss the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (“ENSO” for short) at the blog, we often take a rather human or physics-y view of the climate phenomenon. We’ve published loads of articles discussing the mechanics for how ENSO works in the atmosphere and the ocean, and how ENSO impacts humans from droughts and wildfires […]

NOAA: July 2022 ENSO Update – 66% Chance of a La Niña Winter, ~5% Chance of El Niño Winter

I’m in San Diego this week, gazing out across the Pacific toward La Niña’s cool tropical ocean surface. (I’m not here for Comic-Con, but there are a lot of posters around the city that keep that upcoming event in the forefront.) Just over my horizon, La Niña—the cool phase of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (“ENSO” for short)—remains in force, despite […]

NOAA June 2021 ENSO Update: Too Early to Predict La Niña for 21/22, <10% Chance of El Niño

This post first appeared on the climate.gov ENSO blog and was written by Emily Becker ENSO-neutral conditions are present in the tropical Pacific, and NOAA forecasters think they’re likely to continue through the summer. Neutral is slightly favored through the fall, although it’s a close call between continued neutral and re-developing La Niña for the late fall and winter. Related: […]

NOAA: We Know All About El Niño and La Niña, But What About ‘Pacific Decadal Oscillation’?

This post first appeared on the climate.gov ENSO blog and was written by Tom Di Liberto We talk a lot about El Niño and La Niña at the ENSO blog, but there are other phenomena that garner interest among scientists, even if they do not have the same brand recognition as El Niño. So while we wait for a potential […]

NOAA March 2021 ENSO Update: Weakening La Niña Unlikely to Develop into El Niño in Fall

This post first appeared on the ENSO Blog and was written by Emily Becker La Niña continues in the tropical Pacific, but it has weakened recently, and forecasters estimate about a 60% chance of a transition to neutral conditions in the late spring. Looking farther out into the fall of 2021, El Niño is unlikely to develop, and the chances […]

How Will Climate Change Affect El Niño and La Niña?

This post first appeared on the NOAA Research News website As climate change disrupts weather patterns around the world, one overarching question is the subject of increased scientific focus: how it will affect one of the world’s dominant weather-makers? Related: NOAA October 2020 ENSO Update: Chance of La Niña Increased to 85% | Forecasters Expect Strong La Niña The future […]

NOAA ENSO Blog: The Rise of El Niño and La Niña

This post first appeared on the climate.gov ENSO blog and was written by Michelle L’Heureux We often get asked how El Niño or La Niña events form and increase in strength. The key is in the ocean-atmosphere coupling across the tropical Pacific Ocean. Without it, ENSO would not exist, and it would be considerably more difficult to predict climate impacts seasons in advance. […]
