This article directly relates to the material that we are covering in class. We went over wind and ocean current patterns and we learned how and why El Nino is created. This article shows effects El Nino has on the rest of the country.
The area the entire El Nino weather pattern covers has to do with East Asia and North America. This article explains how El Nino is going to alter our countries winter season in different ways across the country.
El Niño in the central and eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean is expected to be a dominant climate factor that will influence the December through February winter weather in the United States.Warmer ocean water in the equatorial Pacific shifts the patterns of tropical rainfall that in turn change the strength and position of the jetstream and storms over the Pacific Ocean and the U.S."
I believe that the effects of El Nino should be known across the country; so that people are ready for the unexpected weather and are prepared for the worst possible scenario.
jet stream- strong, generally westerly winds concentrated in a relatively narrow and shallow stream in the upper troposphere of the earth.
