El Nino reappears in the Pacific Ocean

Conditions forming El Nino phenomenon are accumulating and developing in the tropical region of the Pacific. According to the forecast of the Weather Center of the US Oceanic and Meteorological Agency (NOAA), this phenomenon may appear again in early 2007.

US scientists have discovered that the phenomenon of anomalous warming of the ocean surface in the equatorial Pacific region in the past two weeks may be responsible for the El Nino phenomenon in the future.

The drier weather than usual is currently taking place in Indonesia, Malaysia and most parts of the Philippines, often the first areas affected by El Nino.

Central and western Canada and the western United States can experience higher temperatures than normal in the coming winter. This weather phenomenon also makes the drought in eastern Australia worse.

According to scientists, El Nino is formed by climate shift over a large range of oceanic atmosphere, combined with cyclical warming of ocean surface temperatures across the equatorial center and east of the equator in the Pacific.

Abnormal warming of the ocean surface in the equatorial Pacific region over the past week (yellow, orange and red regions) indicates that El Nino may be forming, according to NOAA (Photo: NOAA).

El Nino often appears in a 3-year cycle, which can cause intense weather upheaval with heavy storms or dry weather, causing great human and economic losses, mainly in Asia and Latin America. .
