You may have heard a lot of buzz about El Niño, and how it impacts weather around the globe. With an El Niño likely on the way, we’ll focus this weather webinar on the El Niño - Southern Oscillation (ENSO), the most important mode of variability in the Earth system. We’ll show how teleconnections from warmer-than-usual surface ocean waters in the tropical Pacific propagate across the planet to impact weather tens of thousands of miles away. We’ll break down all the ways that warm conditions over the equatorial East Pacific drive global weather conditions, from droughts and bushfires in Australia, to severe convective storms and hail over the US Great Plains, to heatwaves in Chile. And we’ll explore the factors that determine how strong this El Niño event is likely to be, from mild, to moderate, to an extreme Super El Niño, and implications of El Niño intensity on weather impacts.
