What Weather beginning with letter e?
El Nino and evaporation :)
Is El Nino a time period or an act?
Short answer: El Nino is a prevailing west wind blowing across the Pacific, usually in the late fall or early winter. For the long answer, see the related link.
A warm weather event that occurs in the tropical Pacific Ocean periodically?
That would be El Nino.
What are some words that end in Ino?
Domino. Casino. Nino. Marino. Lino. Albino. Wino.
How does an El Nino affect Kentucky?
Winters tend to be considerably drier, especially in the western and southern parts of the state. There is generally not inclination either way for temperature.
How does wind cause upwelling in the oceans?
El Nino
How does el nino affects upwelling?
It causes it to stop or lessen.
What does upwelling have to do with el nino?
El Nino reduces upwelling. Normal sea surface temperatures in Pacific tend to be warmer in the west because of upwelling, where warm water flows west because of trade winds and colder water rises up to replace the warm water in the Eastern Pacific. During El Nino, the trade winds get all screwed up and warm water is spread out more evenly in the Pacific. So there is less upwelling and the Eastern Pacific sees warmer sea water.
Why is the warm weather condition of El Nino not good for the fishermen?
Under normal conditions, upwelling at the equatorial Pacific brings up nutrients from the deep ocean, which ultimate provides food for fish. During El Nino, this upwelling is reduced or even reversed, leading to fewer nutrients and thus, fewer fish.
When is upwelling weaker during a normal pattern El Niño or La Nina event?
Upwelling is weaker during a normal pattern El Niño event. This is because El Niño brings warmer sea surface temperatures, which suppress the nutrient-rich cold water that drives upwelling along the coast. In contrast, La Niña events typically enhance upwelling due to cooler sea surface temperatures.
What two changes in weather patterns caused by el nino that can cause disasters?
Floods, mudslides, drought, and also some changes in upwelling. I know that's four but it gives more of a variety... :) hope I helped!
Why does the fishing industry watch for upwellings eagerly?
Most ocean waters are depleted of nutrients - plankton gets eaten by larger creatures, the larger creatures export nutrients in their wastes out of the lighted zone, where plants can grow, into the deep ocean. Where upwelling occurs, as in the Peru Current, these deep waters come to the surface carrying nutrients. This yields a phytoplankton boom, which gives fish a rich source of food. The anchovy fishery of Peru, one of the richest fisheries in the world, is directly fed by upwelling. During an el Nino event the upwelling fails - so does the fishery.
