All the experts, including the UNcoincide: the phenomenon of ‘The boy’the heating of the waters of the Peaceful that threatens to shock the global Weather, It is coming down and it will be of great intensity. ‘El Niño’, responsible for numerous climatic anomalies, is elusive and it is difficult to detect its genesis and anticipate when we will begin to notice its effects.
To predict this cyclical phenomenonscientists measure various factors, such as the speed of trade winds and the water temperatures of the oceans, both on the surface and in the depths. The final key is held by the Sentinel-6 michael freilicha satellite that has detected a very revealing sign.
El Niño’ is a natural phenomenon characterized by the fluctuation of the temperatures of the Pacific Ocean equatorial, associated with changes in the atmosphere. When the waters get colder than normal, ‘La Niña’ arrives. And when they get warmer than average, ‘El Niño’ arrives. Different satellites have already captured an increase in temperature in those waters.
But there is another element to take into account. The kelvin waves. Sentinel-6 has located them: low in height, but with a width of hundreds of kilometers, they move from west to east towards the coast of Peru. “In all the events of the phenomenon, Kelvin waves have been seen before they occurred”, indicates Nadya Vinogradova ShifferNASA mission scientist in a statement.
uneven effect
The last time ‘El Niño’ formed was in 2016 and its effects were felt around the world, contributing to a record rise in global temperatures, loss of forests tropics, coral bleaching and polar melt.
Scientists have reacted to the images and have already ventured when we will begin to feel the effects of this phenomenon. Another of the people in charge of the Sentinel-6 project Michael Freilich, Josh Willishas ventured that the consequences will begin to be noticed late summer. “If it’s big, the globe will see record warming, but in the southwestern United States we could be seeing another wet winter,” he predicts.
