The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) La Nina Page contains links to general information on processes involved in La Nina and how it impacts global climate. There are also links to comparisons between La Nina and El Nino; the status of La Nina; La Nina Summit information; observation, forecast, and research sites; and other El Nino sites.

This website highlights the weather phenomena of El Nino and La Nina, describing the differences between them. It includes weather reports, movie clips, descriptions of each event, when they have occurred, and why they occur. Imagery is used to explain the causes of these events and the effects they have on humans around the globe.

This animation shows El Nino and La Nina from 1997 through 1998. Each frame is a ten-day average of sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies--that is, of differences from normal SST values. The area shown in the animation is the Pacific ocean from -21 to +21 latitude and +120 to +290 East longitude. -

The El Nino-La Nina event in 1997-1999 was
particularly intense, but was also very well observed by
satellites and buoys. Changes in the normal height of the
oceans surface were computed from TOPEX-Poseidon
altimeter data.
