500-year simulation reveals natural drivers of North Atlantic Oscillation shift
Research led by a team from the University of Barcelona is helping to solve some mysteries about the causes of NAO migration, one of the most influential patterns of climate change in the Northern Hemisphere. Credit: npj Climate and Atmospheric Science (2024). DOI: 10.1038/s41612-024-00842-8 Much remains unknown about what causes the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), a significant climate phenomenon in…

El Niño Southern Oscillation caused temperature rise in 2023, research shows
El Niño and La Niña are warm and cold periods of the natural climate pattern across the tropical Pacific Ocean, known as El Niño Southern Oscillation, or “ENSO” for short. This pattern changes erratically every two to seven years, causing predictable changes in ocean temperatures and disrupting normal wind and rain patterns across the tropics. These changes in the seasonal…
