Neither - they are just different phases of the same oscillation. Depending on where you are in the world, one may have a stronger influence on your weather than the other. In any case, I would not characterize any of its affects as "violent"; ENSO tends to get overblown in the media.

Is 2011-2012 a la Nina?

According to the Scripps Institute, La Nina conditions (ie eastern pacific cooling) are likely to persist until the middle of this year. El Nino is forecast to become the prevailing phase in the end of the year and the beginning of next (2010) See http://meteora.ucsd.edu/~pierce/elnino/pictures.html The Australian Bureau of Meteorology seems to concur. They publish several different researchers computer modelling, and La Nina will remain for another few months, it may then be neutral or starting an El Nino later in the year, See http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/ahead/ENSO-summary.shtml So to answer your question, 2009 is not an El Nino year as such, but it may see the start of one, leading on to 2010, which presumably will be an El Nino year.

What does Nina and nino mean in English?

Nina is the Babylonian goddess of the watery deep and daughter of Ea. It is mainly a female name, but if you hear a guy named "Nina" it is most likely he is gay. Nina is mainly a Spanish name, but also from Hebrew languages. In Spanish, Nina means "little girl" or "great granddaughter". In Hebrew it means "grace" or "peace". Naina, a similar name to Nina, means "pretty eyes" in Indian or Hindi languages. It is a very popular name in around the world, but mostly in Spanish countries. It may also be a nickname or a shortened name for longer names such as Ninaboy. The pronounciation is NEE-NAH or NYNE-AH. Nina is a very popular female first name. Nina is also the name of one of the ships Christopher Columbus (Cristoforo Colombo) used on his journey to North America. Nina was one of the big ships. NINA was also a saying in the mid nineteenth century meaning "No Irish Need Apply" this was because of the potato famine in Ireland, many Irish moved to the united states. they were unwelcomed by the American. so the Americans gave them bad jobs.. if say they wanted to work in a factory there would be a sign in the window saying "NINA" pretty much saying Irish are not welcome to work here.
