No, the Humboldt Current and El Niño currents are not the same. The Humboldt Current is a cold ocean current that flows north along the western coast of South America, while El Niño is a climate phenomenon characterized by the warming of sea surface temperatures in the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean which can disrupt weather patterns globally.

What are some key features of modoki El Nio events and how do they differ from traditional El Nio events?

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.

Is Quito and Manaus ocean currents cool or warm?

Quito: There are two opposing marine currents that influence the climate of Quito. From December to May, the warm current of El Niño coming from the north occurs in the Pacific ocean and for the rest of the year, the cold Humboldt current comes from the south. When one of these currents becomes stronger and persists longer than normal, there are variations in precipitation on the continent. If the El Niño current is stronger than the Humboldt current, the rains on the continent increase causing floods. If the Humboldt is stronger, the rains decrease causing drought. Manaus: Since Manaus is almost right in the middle of South America, there arent very many marine currents to begin with. In fact, there are no marine currents that make a dramatic effect on the city at all.
