Well, El Niño being a 27 mile ocean current located off the west coast of South America, not much. What you may mean is the ENSO (El Niño Southern Oscilation) events that periodically occur along the equator between Australia and South America, from which the current takes its name.

ENSO events push warmer nutrient depleted ocean waters into the coast of South and Central America, causing fish and other marine life in the area to die out. The rate of depletion of biology in the areas affected depends entirely on the strength of the ENSO for that year or period.

El Nino technically has occurred every few years, but the most prominent years were 1982-1983 and 1997-1998.

The last El Nino occured in late 2009/ early 2010.

El Nino brings wetter-than-normal conditions to Florida during the winter months, especially late winter. Temperatures tend to be slightly warmer in early winter, and on the cool side in late winter and early spring.

It is impossible for them to occur at the same time. They are two opposite phases of the same oscillation. It is either one or the other, or it is somewhere in between (neutral).

El Nino refers to the warm current that flows southward along the coasts of Ecuador and Peru between January and March, marking the end of the local fishing season. This results in a shift in ocean temperatures and atmospheric conditions in the tropical Pacific, which disrupts weather around the world.

El Nino climatic conditions occur every few years, and they are not predictable. Usually

though not always El Nino brings more rain and higher temperatures. Also, warm ocean currents come farther north and all kinds of tropical fish can be caught in the waters far north of where they can usually be found. The climate pattern is important, because it can change the weather of the United States particularly in California and southern states. It has also been noticed that severe droughts in India occur when there is El Nino.

Global wind patterns and ocean currents determine the climate and weather of the world. Convection, which is the transfer of heat between liquids and gases, occurs between the ocean water and the air, giving the air varying degrees of temperature.

Enso results from dynamic and thermodynamic interactions. These interactions happen in the atmosphere, oceans, and land surfaces, although specificallywhat causes ENSO is unclear. Aside from that, scientists believe air pressure changes and wind currents play a vital role in starting El Nino/ Southern Oscillation. Some researcher think greenhouse gases may play a role. Others say underwater activity; underwater earthquakes for example, cause El Nino.

The pressure gradient decreases. The trade winds weaken, or even blow backwards.

people in very dry areas got flooded and people in very wet areas went dry.

The opposite of an El Nino, La Nina is formed by cooler-than-normal subsurface waters in the central and eastern tropical Pacific. On average, it occurs every 3-6 years, but atmospheric changes, effects of industrialised nations and many other factors are gradually changing the frequency and length of La Nina.

El Nino brings drought conditions to eastern Australia. These effects often last for several years, and they are by no means restricted to the eastern states. Lack of rainfall accompanying an El Nino can also affect the west coast, bordering the Indian Ocean.

Australia's severe bushfire seasons are often preceded by the El Nino phenomena, extending for any number of years. This was the case in the 1982-83 season, leading to the horrific Ash Wednesday bushfires, and again in 2008-09, leading to the even worse Victorian "Black Saturday" bushfires.

the reason why people get upset is because other people be making them mad or someone getting on their last nerves or they just say things to make you mad.but listen for some good advice,don`t let people make you mad with words they say because words and talk don`t hurt anyone.because the reason they want to make you mad is so you can hit them first and get you into trouble.

There is no solution because there is no problem. It is a completely natural cycle (it may or may not be enhanced by global warming) that we wouldn't be able to alter if we wanted to because its scale is far too large. To minimize damage, we can only prepare for its consequences and strive to detect and predict it more accurately.

the cause is the heat forming in the center of the ocean . the effect is simply la nina

the storm causes masive flooding

se cayó

It decreases trade winds

The El Nino phenomenon impacts the Earth's ecosystems through climate changes around the world. In some areas, food is plentiful, while in other areas, severe drought occurs limiting the food supply.

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.

In 2009-2010 anyone on the eastern coast noticed a large increase in nor' easters. That's because this winter season was an El Nino. When an el nino occurs, the jet stream is shifted from its regular position in the Atlantic. It is shifted closer to the United States' east coast. This makes all of the low pressure systems follow right over it. Over time, in an El Nino year, there is an increased activity in low pressure systems up the east coast which creates more snow, rain, etc. (Nor' Easters)
