El Nino is getting worse due to rising temperatures

According to recent research by scientists, the phenomenon of El Nino is getting worse because of the global temperature rise.

El Nino is an abnormal warming phenomenon of Pacific sea water temperature that changes the atmosphere circulation. However, scientists still do not know where the heat comes from.

Because the temperature of the Pacific sea water is unusually hot, a large amount of steam from the Pacific evaporates and the steam is pushed to the South America (eastern Pacific) causing heavy rain, leading to flooding. flood. The amount of steam that is returned to Asia (west of the Pacific Ocean) is no longer moisture, so it does not cause rain and cause drought.

Until now, scientists are not sure how the temperature increase will affect El Nino in the future. However, the new study, led by Dr. Scott Power of the Australian Bureau of Meteorology, points out that floods and drought caused by El Nino will become more intense in the near future.

By using the latest generation climate models, the team found that rising temperatures would affect the precipitation caused by El Nino.

'This effect increases the drought level in the western Pacific and increases rainfall in the central and eastern equatorial Pacific , ' said Dr. Scott Power, BBC on October 14.

According to Dr. Wenju Cai, a scientist at the Commonwealth Scientific and Technological Research Organization (CSIRO), this is an 'important' study , showing that both unusual and dry phenomena will become significant in next years.

'This means that the floods and droughts caused by El Nino in the future will get worse , ' he said.
