07/15/11 Coastal communities along the U.S. East Coast may be at risk to higher sea levels accompanied by more destructive storm surges in future El Ni?o years, according to a new study by NOAA. The study was prompted by an unusual number of destructive storm surges along the East Coast during the 2009-2010 El Ni?o winter.
07/12/11 The entire U.S. West Coast took a dramatic beating from the El Ni?o episode that ended last year, a new study reveals, as powerful waves gouged away chunks of shoreline at far higher levels than previously measured....

06/10/11 When Anthony Weiner was in college, his career goal was to become a TV weatherman. All he wanted to do with his life was talk about cold fronts from Canada, El Ni?o and the relative humidity.He should have followed his dream.Instead, he became enamored of student politics and felt the heady rush of being listened to, recognized and admired. At the State University of New York at Plattsburgh, he ...
05/09/11 Studying treering records from the southwestern United States, University of Hawaii scientists have helped assemble a 1,100-year historical picture of the climate phenomenon known as El Ni?o, offering an avenue to understanding how weather patterns could change in a warming world.
05/06/11 Tree-ring records from North America give a continuous history of variations in El Ni?o intensity over the past 1,100 years and can be used to help climate models predict more reliably how El Ni?o will change in the face of global warming, according to a new study.

12/03/10 John Adams conducting his oratorio El Ni?o on Thursday evening (all photo credits: SF Symphony/Kristen Loken) Berkeley composer John Adams 's oratorio El Ni?o had its US premiere at Davies Symphony Hall ten years ago next month. The reviews were unanimously enthusiastic . El Ni?o, like Handel's Messiah , is a musical setting of the Nativity . Sellars and Adams compiled the texts from some more ...
12/03/10 Performances The Schola Cantorum of Santa Fe will present "El Ni?o - The Christ Child" at 7 p.m. Friday in the Basilica of San Albino, 2070 Calle de Santiago in Mesilla.
12/02/10 For more than a decade, Dr. Joseph Ortiz, associate professor of geology at Kent State University and part of an international team of National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded researchers, has been studying long-term climate variability associated with El Ni?o. The researchers' goal is to help climatologists better understand this global climate phenomenon that happens every two to eight years ...

09/13/10 After three years of drought, reservoirs across California finally filled up this past winter with plentiful rainfall -- driven by El Ni?o conditions, where Pacific Ocean waters warm up, often bringing wet winters for the state.
09/10/10 The dry spell caused by the El Ni?o weather phenomenon has dried out the river irrigating tobacco fields in Ilocos Sur, the country's largest producer of tobacco. The sharp dip in the income of tobacco farmers has made Ilocos Sur the fourth poorest province in Region 1,
09/09/10 El Ni?o conditions like we saw last season seem to get the most media hype because the warming effect tends to cause more extreme weather across the nation, but it might actually be the cooling effect -- or La Ni?a phenomena -- that benefits snowboarders the most. "We are quite confident that this...
09/02/10 The weather pattern known as El Ni?o, which can bring heavy rains to Southern California, has doubled in intensity and warmth and shifted westward over several decades, according to scientists from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the National Oceanic and...
08/11/10 The wet, cooler temperatures associated with the weather phenomenon El Ni?o are fading away, and may soon give way to dryer, warmer conditions produced by its little sister, La Ni?a.
07/31/10 Twenty-seven years ago, the entire coast of California was hammered by the most severe El Ni?o storms in perhaps half a century.
06/22/10 At least part of the blame can be laid at the feet of the sibling weather phenomena known as El Ni?o and La Ni?a.
06/22/10 ( American Geophysical Union ) Featured in this release are research papers on the following topics: "El Ni?o explanation for global warming flawed"; "Less warming risk from permafrost thaw?"; "Drill site targeted for subglacial Antarctic lake"; "Aerosols strongly influence cloud properties" and "Realistic models of aquifer conduits".
05/28/10 Last year, the city of Chicago's thermometer broke the 90-degree range only six times. The colder summer was due in part to El Ni?o, a general cooling of Pacific-driven temperatures traveling across the continental United States, which left open-air, and even closed-in pools struggling for attendance.
05/18/10 This winter, heavy snowfall buried the Sierra Nevada and torrential rains drenched much of California, with storms so intense in January that emergencies were declared in several counties, including Los Angeles and San Francisco. But while El Ni?o ended... |
