How does Global Warming, affect the weather patterns of El Nino, and La Nina?
Answer:
El Nino and La Nina have several potential sources, ranging from variations in ocean currents to underwater volcanoes. No one knows for sure. But I've studied the different theories and not onr of them is potentially influenced by global warming.
It's just more garbage from the global warming group. ignore it.
We can only speculate weather patterns.
It is doubtful that there is any connection between AGW and El Nino (or La Nina). Current models utilized by the IPCC show little or no connection to El Nino.
Here's the study:
http://pubs.giss.nasa.gov/docs/2005/2005...
"By linking the realism of the simulation of present day ENSO variability in the models to their patterns of future mean El Nin˜o-like or La Nin˜a-like climate change, it is found that those models that have the largest ENSO-like climate change also have the poorest simulation of ENSO variability. The most likely scenario (p=0.59) in a model-skill-weighted histogram of
CMIP models is for no trend towards either mean El Nin˜o -like or La Nin˜a-like conditions."
El niño is considered a minor climate change by the result of changes in ocean and air currents. Any major change in an ocean current can cause a change in climate. The hurracaine season is active during the late summer and the early fall, because of low pressure areas form over the ocean. But I think global warming is mostly caused for the CO2 we are producing, is extra than how nature can respond.
El nino's have been found to start in the Western Pacific ocean. The ocean is heated up 10-20 degrees over hundreds of square miles. It then drifts Easterly toward the Americas. The only logical cause that could heat up that much water over that big of an area, and occur at random times, is under water lava extrusions. Lava being 8000 degrees as liquid rock is the only sane reason for this event. It is unpredictable and intense. The calorie input has to be enormous to heat such a slug of ocean water.
An oceanic testing ship sailed thru bubbling water some years ago in the Western Pacific ocean and almost sank from loss of lift. It just barely made it out of the bubbling water before it would have sank. The reason was thought to be gases from boiling water. I believe there are satellites that measure ocean temperatures now, so maybe the mystery will be solved.
