New technology to detect early El Niño phenomenon

Scientists have just released a new technology that will help detect El Niño weather.

Accordingly, scientists will use air temperature measurements to detect El Nino, instead of measuring the current water temperature.

The new technology will help to provide an earlier time estimate (about 12 months before the El Niño phenomenon) with a relatively high accuracy rate.

This is a positive step, especially useful for farmers and fishermen so they have more time to prepare for drought or floods.

Previously, the technology of water temperature only allows predicted El Niño phenomenon with a period of six months.

The El Nino phenomenon occurs every 2-7 years, causing extreme weather events such as floods, droughts and severe weather that seriously affect agricultural activities. fisheries and people's lives.

This phenomenon has caused severe droughts in Australia, Indonesia and South America; flooding in Peru, Ecuador; harsh winter in Europe, monsoon in East Asia and typhoons in the Caribbean.
