11 Definitions Southern Oscillation Index (SOI): the normalized difference in surface pressure between Tahiti (French Polynesia) and Darwin (Australia): a measure of the strength of the trade winds) El Niño: large scale weakening of the trade winds and warming of the surface layers in the eastern and central equatorial Pacific Ocean La Niña: stronger than normal trade winds and anomalously cold equatorial Pacific sea surface temperatures ENSO: full range of variability observed in the Southern Oscillation Index

26 Southern Oscillation Index

27 Forecasting ENSO

28 El Niño – Surface winds

29 El Nino – increase storms in Southern California

31 La Niña - Floods in Pacific Northwest

32 ENSO & Precipitation

33 El Niño & hurricanes Linda 185 mph – 298 km/h September 1997

35 Generalities of ENSO El NiñoLa Niña "Southern Oscillation"No "oscillation" Tradewinds failTradewinds increase Reverse flow of airNo reverse flow Elevated SSTDecreased SST Upwelling decreasedUpwelling increased Fish die in Peru Fish thrive (can still be a bad deal if fish prices drop) Dry areas floodedDry areas get drier (e.g., Florida) Wet areas dry upWet areas get flooded (e.g., Oregon)
