El Niño warning!!! Record warming may be on the way from one of the world’s biggest climate influencers

NASA spots El Niño precursor from space: 'If it’s a big one, the globe will see record warming | Live Science

“The Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich satellite recorded Kelvin waves moving eastward across the Pacific — a phenomenon often considered a precursor to El Niño.”

“El Niño is a part of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) climate cycle. Normally, prevailing easterly winds along the equator, known as trade winds, blow surface water west across the Pacific, moving warm water from South America towards Asia. As the warm water moves, cold water rises up to replace it. El Niño is linked to weakened trade winds, causing the warm water to be pushed east.

Data from the Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich satellite, which monitors sea levels, showed Kelvin waves(opens in new tab) moving across the Pacific. These long ocean waves are just 2 to 4 inches (5 to 10 centimeters) high but are hundreds of miles wide. They are considered to be a precursor to El Niño when they form at the equator and move the warm upper layer of water to the western Pacific. “

"We’ll be watching this El Niño like a hawk," Josh Willis(opens in new tab), a project scientist on Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), said in a statement(opens in new tab). "If it's a big one, the globe will see record warming."This causes a significant impact on weather patterns around the world. For the U.S., it means wetter weather in the southern parts and hotter weather in northwestern areas.”

Better check with the UN IPCC and the perpetrators of the European Green Deal to see if they can check this years relative contribution to climate change from El Niño and either tax it, or ask it for its carbon footprint to check for eligibility for carbon credits.

Environmental Impact of El Niño and La Niña | EnvironmentalScience.org

“In Europe, El Niño reduces the number of autumnal hurricanes. La Niña has less of an effect in Europe but it does tend to lead to milder winters in Northern Europe (the United Kingdom especially) and colder winters in southern/western Europe leading to snow in the Mediterranean region.”

Fewer hurricanes this autumn in the EU? I wonder what La Niña is up to.

Onwards!
