New Pacific Ocean circulation findings may hold key to better predicting impact of El Nino and La Nina

Toronto, Canada (SPX) Oct 05, 2021

For years scientists have been trying to understand variations in El Nino and La Nina to accurately predict year-to-year disruptions to weather patterns. New findings from York University scientists at the Lassonde School of Engineering suggest that a conveyer-like motion of heat across the equator in the Pacific Ocean - called the "Cross Equatorial Cell" (CEC) - may influence what a specific El
