REBECCA KOLLMEYER EAS 4480 APRIL 24 TH, 2012 Impacts on Atlanta weather during winter by Central Pacific and Eastern Pacific El Nino

Overview Background of Central Pacific and Eastern Pacific El Nino Analyze Atlanta data Apply statistical tests to compare results Conclusions about impacts Overview · Background · Data · Results · Conclusion · Future

Variations of El Nino Events EP El Nino: Easterly winds weaken Warmer SST CP El Nino: Warm SST surrounded by cold Change in Circulation Normal EP CP Overview · Background · Data · Results · Conclusion · Future Ashok, 2009 Nature

Theoretical Impacts Eastern Pacific: North/South impact  More rain in south  Less rain in north  Change in temp pattern Central Pacific: East/West impact:  More rain in East  Less rain in West  Change in temp pattern Overview · Background · Data · Results · Conclusion · Future “How much more” rain still not fully understood “How much more” rain still not fully understood

Goals Identify years considered EP events Identify years considered CP events Collect temperature/precipitation data for ATL Compare rainfall amounts during events vs. average Compare temperature during events vs. average Statistically analyze results and draw conclusions Overview · Background · Data · Results · Conclusion · Future

Data Data from NCDC: El Nino 3.4 monthly index Atlanta monthly rainfall Atlanta monthly mean temperature Data from literature for event dates CP: 6 average DJF from EP: 6 average DJF from Overview · Background · Data · Results · Conclusion · Future

Methods Chi-squared to test normal distribution Students T-test to see if mean values are different Linear regression to test relationship between events Pearson Correlation to test correlation between particular event index and rainfall/temp

El Nino, Temperature, Rainfall Overview · Background · Data · Results · Conclusion · Future

Results Rainfall amounts not normally distributed Temperature values normally distributed El Nino index poorly correlated to rainfall, temp P-values values  Between CP El Nino and rainfall:  Between EP El Nino and rainfall:  Between CP El Nino and temperature:  Between EP El Nino and temperature: Overview · Background · Data · Results · Conclusion · Future

So far… Limitations: With monthly averages, no obvious connection between El Nino events and rainfall/temp Hard to test magnitude of difference with limited data set Lack of normal distribution Small data set Weak connection Conclusions Overview · Background · Data · Results · Conclusion · Future

Future Work Use weekly or daily values of both El Nino and weather data to create a larger data set Test difference of each kind of El Nino vs. total El Nino More advanced statistics to find magnitude of difference (even if it is small) Overview · Background · Data · Results · Conclusion · Future
