Understanding and predicting ENSO
Throughout the 1960's and 1970's, oceanographers referred to the large-scale warming of the equatorial eastern and central Pacific as El Nino. This anomalous warming was later shown to be associated with anoma lies in the upper ocean thermal structure throughout the equatorial Pacific Ocean. At about the same time, scientists realized that the Southern Oscillation was in timately related to t...
متن کاملevent - to - event differences in ENSO spatial patterns and evolution . UNDERSTANDING ENSO DIVERSITY
E l Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is a naturally occurring phenomenon in the tropical Pacific that has global impacts of great relevance to society. The term El Niño refers to warming of the tropical Pacific Ocean occurring every 2–7 yr, while the opposite cold phase is known as La Niña. Anomalous warming or cooling conditions are associated with a large-scale east–west sea level pressure se...
متن کاملUnderstanding the SAM influence on the South Pacific ENSO teleconnection
The relationship between the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and the Southern Hemisphere Annular Mode (SAM) is examined, with the goal of understanding how various strong SAM events modulate the ENSO teleconnection to the South Pacific (45 –70 S, 150 – 70 W). The focus is on multi-month, multi-event variations during the last 50 years. A significant (p \ 0.10) relationship is observed, most...
متن کاملChallenges in Understanding Diabetic Embryopathy
Perhaps one of the most devastating diabetes complications is diabetic embryopathy, in which the offspring of a mother with diabetes predating pregnancy develops congenital malformations. These malformations can affect multiple organ systems, including the brain and spinal cord, the heart and major vessel, the kidneys, the gut, and skeletal structures (1,2) and result in preor postnatal mortali...
متن کاملUnderstanding, modeling and predicting weather and climate extremes: Challenges and opportunities
Weather and climate extremes are identified as major areas necessitating further progress in climate research and have thus been selected as one of the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) Grand Challenges. Here, we provide an overview of current challenges and opportunities for scientific progress and cross-community collaboration on the topic of understanding, modeling and predicting extre...
