El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) cycle.
Phases , opposite phases
La Niña , cold phase of ENSO occurs less freq winter temp warmer than normal Southeast and cooler than normal in the Northwest. El Niño , warm phase of ENSO. occurs more freq ENSO cycle. scientific term describing temp fluctuations between ocean &'atmosphere East-central Equatorial Pacific Approx Longitude of International Date Line-120W Deviations normal surface temperatures give large-scale impacts on ocean processes, global weather and climate. Episodes typically last 9-12 months, Prolonged events last for years. frequency quite irregular, Events average every 2-7 years. El Niño occurs more frequently than La Niña. Abnormal weather pattern of cooling sea surface waters in the Pacific Ocean La Nina - Evolve in April , last rest year spring and summer, dry growing season grains-soybeans US Midwest.Plains,begin April. La Nina can trigger below-normal rainfall but doesn’t necessarily mean drought, a bias for a drier summer, La Nina tends to make the drier biases more significant for Corn Belt and Plains. Grain markets react to La Ninas, creates summer droughts, All major drought years tend be La Nina [ 1988 ] HX 1950-2018 El Niño Weak-10 Moderate-7 Strong-5 Very Strong-3 La Niña Weak-10 Moderate-4 Strong-7 |
