January 2025 was the 18th month in the last 19 when the global average surface air temperature breached the 1.5 degree ...

The eastern tropical Pacific Ocean shifts from hot to cold and back in a temperature cycle known as the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO), and La Niña is the cool phase of the cycle.

The discrepancies between proxies and models may stem from the fact that the models overestimate sea surface temperature changes in the eastern tropical Pacific. The proxy results also suggest ...

Throughout the world, extreme weather is driving a growing death toll, exacting billions in damage, threatening food and water security and escalating forced migration. Yet some of the most ...

Bjerknes recognized that the Southern Oscillation was the atmospheric counterpart of an oceanic oscillation between a warm (El Niño) and a cool (La Niña) state in the eastern tropical Pacific.

We measured cyanate distributions and cyanate and urea uptake in the Eastern Tropical South Pacific, a region defined by coastal upwelling, high primary productivity, a shallow oxic layer, and rapid N ...

La Niña is part of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) cycle, a climate pattern marked by changes in the ocean temperatures in the eastern and central tropical Pacific Ocean. Think of it as ...
