These images show a cross section of sea temperature and height along the equator in the Pacific Ocean, from Asia on the left, to South America on the right. Sea surface height is represented by the bumps, and sea temperature is represented by color, where red is 86 ºF (30 ºC) and blue is 46 ºF (8 ºC).
Schematic Diagrams | El Nino Theme Page - A comprehensive …
Schematic diagrams of El Niño, Normal and La Niña conditions. The left side of each diagram is the western Pacific Ocean, near Asia, and the right side is the eastern Pacific Ocean, near South America. Red/orange colors indicate warm ocean surface temperatures, yellow/greenish colors indicate cooler temperatures.
Under the Surface of El Niño - NASA Earth Observatory
The still image at the top shows a cross-section of the Pacific Ocean in November 2015, near the peak of the most recent El Niño event. Based on data from the Global Data and Assimilation Office, the map shows temperature anomalies; that is, how much the temperatures at the surface and in the depths ranged above or below the long-term averages.

2024年4月27日 · (10 points) In the space below make a sketch of a cross section of the ocean from the surface to 500 m depth extending from the western Pacific (coast of Australia) to the eastern Pacific (coast of South America) during a "normal" year and an El Niño year.
7(z) El Nino, La Nina and the Southern Oscillation - Physical …
El Niño is the name given to the occasional development of warm ocean surface waters along the coast of Ecuador and Peru. When this warming occurs the usual upwelling of cold, nutrient rich deep ocean water is significantly reduced. El Niño normally occurs around Christmas and usually lasts for a few weeks to a few months.

2025年1月10日 · Fig.7. Time-longitude cross section of ocean heat content (OHC; vertically averaged temperature in the top 300 m) anomalies along the equator in the Indian and Pacific Oceans by the ocean data assimilation system. Base period for normal is 1991-2020.
Influence of El Niño on atmospheric CO2 over the tropical Pacific Ocean …
2017年10月13日 · NASA’s carbon sleuth tracks the influence of El Niño on atmospheric CO 2. The tropical Pacific Ocean, the center of action during an El Niño event, is shown in cross section. Warm ocean surface temperatures are shown in red, cooler waters in blue. The Niño 3.4 region, which scientists use to study the El Niño, is denoted by yellow dashed lines.
El Niño–Southern Oscillation - Wikipedia
El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is a global climate phenomenon that emerges from variations in winds and sea surface temperatures over the tropical Pacific Ocean. Those variations have an irregular pattern but do have some semblance of cycles. The occurrence of ENSO is not predictable.
Cross-equatorial winds control El Niño diversity and change
2018年8月6日 · El Niño, the warm phase of a quasi-periodic oscillation that results from tropical ocean–atmosphere interactions in the Pacific, has strong impacts on global climate, but how this...
El Niño explained | MetService Blog
Schematic cross-section of the El Niño phase. Off the coast of South America, the thermocline sinks. The cold deep water no longer wells up into the surface layer of the ocean. The source of nutrients is cut off, which has a subsequent effect on fishing stocks off South America.
