When is the eastern Pacific warmer then normal?

When a weather phenomenon called El Nino happens, the eastern Pacific is warmer than normal.


What is normal mutation?

a normal mutation when something is evolving into something bigger or stronger


What is the normal temperature of cold weather?

32 degrees


How are El Nino sea surface temperature and weather conditions different from normal conditions?

"Trade winds diminish in the Central and Western Pacific. The thermocline is depressed in the east and elevated in the west. Sea surface temperatures stay high when usually, the temperature drops in the Eastern Pacific. (The thermocline is a drop in sea temperature.)" NOAA Research; El Nino Activity Key


What kind of weather conditions would you expect to find in Australia during La Niña?

The water in the western Pacific is typically warmer than in the eastern Pacific because trade winds blow the warm waters of the eastern Pacific westward and keep it there. Also, upwelling in the eastern Pacific keeps the water cooler.The warmer water creates more clouds and rain, keeping Indonesia and other areas of the western Pacific wetter than Peru and other coastal regions of South America.During El Niño, the pressure gradient (rate of pressure change between areas of high and low pressure) weakens. In the western tropical Pacific, there is unusually high air pressure, while there is unusually low air pressure in the eastern tropical Pacific. This Southern Oscillation causes the trade winds to weaken, and even blow backwards. This pattern reversal leads to unusually wet weather in parts of South America, and unusually dry weather in the western Pacific.El Nino usually occurs every 3 to 7 years, and lasts for about 18 months.La Niña is the opposite of El Niño. These two weather patterns oscillate every few years.During La Niña, there is unusually low air pressure over the western tropical Pacific, and unusually high air pressure in the eastern tropical Pacific. The easterly blowing trade winds strengthen, blowing more warm water away from the equatorial Pacific. As a result, Australia and Indonesia become wetter than normal, and parts of South America become drier than normal.

Which phenomenon is associated with surface temperatures in the eastern pacific that are colder than average?

La Nina can have a devastating effect under certain conditions: the trade winds are stronger than normal, causing surface waters in the equatorial Pacific to be colder than average, with upwelling occurring as far as the Central Pacific.

What effect is it called when changes in normal wind and water patterns in the pacific ocean cause unusaul weather in some places?

There is no effect related to that. It is called convection currents, and is a normal part of weather. However, the effect you may be thinking of is the effect that is a huge part of the chaos theory, called the butterfly effect. This states that something as small as a butterfly flapping its wings causes weather-related catastrophies on the other side of the world.
