Modoki El Nio events are characterized by warmer sea surface temperatures in the central Pacific Ocean, rather than the eastern Pacific as in traditional El Nio events. This can lead to different weather patterns and impacts on global climate. Modoki El Nio events are less common than traditional El Nio events but can still have significant effects on weather patterns around the world.
"Modoki" is a Japanese word which means "it looks similar to the traditional El Nino from the outer side but actually its internal physics/dynamics is different"......The "Modoki" or Central-Pacific El Niño debateThe traditional Niño involves temperature anomalies in the Eastern Pacific. However, in the last two decades non-traditional El Niños were observed, in which the usual place of the temperature anomaly (Nino 1 and 2) is not affected, but an anomaly arises in the central Pacific. The phenomenon is called Central Pacific (CP) El Niño, "dateline" El Niño (because the anomaly arises near the dateline).
That's Mokona Modoki. Or, his/her real name is Soel. the black one is Larg.
If La Niña and El Niño were to combine, it could lead to a complex climate phenomenon known as a "double dip" or "modoki" event. This scenario might result in unpredictable weather patterns, with some regions experiencing extremes typical of both phenomena, such as increased rainfall in some areas and drought in others. The combined effects could disrupt global weather systems, impacting agriculture, water supply, and ecosystems. Overall, the interaction between these opposing climate patterns would create significant variability and uncertainty in weather forecasts.
