El Niño and La Niña
Radiant Solutions Proprietary and Business Confidential
El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO)
- Cycle involving changes
in sea surface temperatures (SSTs) and atmospheric pressures across the tropical Pacific
- Impacts weather
patterns by altering the global atmospheric circulation
Radiant Solutions Proprietary and Business Confidential
Monitoring and Classifying El Niño
- Boxed area is called Niño 3.4 region,
which is used to classify ENSO events by NOAA
- In El Niño, sea surface temperatures
are more than 0.5°C warmer than normal in the Niño 3.4 region
- In La Niña, sea surface temperatures
are more than 0.5°C cooler than normal in the Niño 3.4 region

Current ENSO Situation
- Water temperatures decreased some earlier this year, but have since
warmed again to 1.1°C warmer than normal, reaching weak to moderate El Niño levels
- Large area of warmer than normal water remains below the surface

IRI/CPC ENSO Model Forecasts
- Currently in weak El Niño
- Models in good
agreement that weak El Niño will persist for at least the next few months
- Average of models shows
weak El Niño persisting through the end of the year
- No models show La Niña
Radiant Solutions Proprietary and Business Confidential
ENSO Conclusions
- El Niño conditions to persist for at least a few more months
- Weak El Niño conditions most likely for summer
- La Niña very unlikely for Northern Hemisphere growing season
Radiant Solutions Proprietary and Business Confidential
Why it matters-El Niño precip correlation
- Map shows typical
rainfall deviations during El Niño events
- Nearly the opposite of
La Niña
- Regional effects can
still overwhelm the El Niño signal, however
