A comparison of the Pacific sea surface temperature anomaly during the El Nino of 1982-1983 with that of 1997-1998, as measured by NOAA AVHRR Full description.

A comparison of the Pacific sea surface temperature anomaly during the El Nino of 1982-1983 with that of 1997-1998, as measured by NOAA AVHRR. This animation ends with a zoom into the 1982-1983 data. Full description.

This web page is a report on El Nino prepared for National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The ability to anticipate how climate will change from one year to the next will lead to better management of agriculture, water supplies, fisheries, and other resources. By incorporating climate predictions into management decisions, humankind is becoming better adapted to the irregular rhythms ... Full description.

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. Full description.

This lesson explores El Nino by looking at sea surface temperature, sea surface height, and wind vectors in order to seek out any correlations there may be among these three variables. It employs group work where different teams work together to analyze a single variable, and then get together in different groups to compare all three variables. The lesson will guide students through data representing ... Full description.

This webcast, is an expert lecture by Dr. Vernon Kousky of NOAA/CPC, entitled The El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) Cycle. The presentation covers the identification and global weather impacts associated with both phases of ENSO. This version of the presentation has enhanced graphics and has been modified to include an introduction to the newly established Operational Nino Index(ONI). Full description.
