NOAA: El Nino Has Killed “The Blob” and the “Ridiculously Resilient Ridge”

blob

According to Earth Observatory, an unusually strong and persistent ridge of atmospheric high pressure emerged in the northeastern Pacific Ocean in 2013/14 – they named it the “Ridiculously Resilient Ridge” (RRR). This unusual ridge shutdown winds which stopped ocean upwelling, so no deep, cool water up came to the surface, which led to unusually warm surface water in that area of the […]
