INDIAN GEOGRAPHY

Detailed explanation-1: -But in the U.S. Gulf Coast and Southeast, these periods are wetter than usual and have increased flooding. El Niño causes the Pacific jet stream to move south and spread further east. During winter, this leads to wetter conditions than usual in the Southern U.S. and warmer and drier conditions in the North.

Detailed explanation-2: -Tropical weather pattern across the equator during El Niño. With a deeper thermocline and decreased westward transport of water, the sea surface temperature increases to greater than normal in the Eastern Pacific. This is the warm phase of ENSO, called El Niño.

Detailed explanation-3: -El Nino is a disruption of the ocean-atmosphere system in the tropical Pacific causing consequences for weather and around the globe. El Nino causes a major fluctuation in temperatures in the surface waters in the tropical eastern Pacific ocean. El Nino can be seen by the measurements of the sea surface temperatures.

Detailed explanation-4: -The changes in sea surface temperatures during El Niño and La Niña are caused and helped along by changes in the trade winds, which normally blow from east to west across the tropical Pacific Ocean.

Detailed explanation-5: -El Niño is a weather pattern that occurs in the Pacific Ocean. During this time, unusual winds cause warm surface water from the equator to move east, toward Central and South America. El Niño can cause more rain than usual in South and Central America and in the United States.
