The butterfly effect suggests that small changes in a system can have a large impact on eventual outcomes. One metaphor used ...

A new international study led by researchers at Tulane University shows that the El Niño and La Niña climate patterns affect ...

La Niña is over, scientists declared Thursday. And while the climate pattern was notably brief and had been waning, scientists said the episode was not as weak as it once seemed. When the planet ...

Scientists thought La Niña was coming. It didn't — at least for now. What could that mean for this year's hurricane season, and how might long-term climate change affect El Niño and La Niña patterns?

The short-lived reign of La Niña has come to an end. La Niña – a natural climate pattern that can influence weather worldwide – arrived at the start of this year but had a very short and odd ...

A long-awaited La Niña finally arrived in the Pacific Ocean in January. But less than two months later, the picture is rapidly shifting. The World Meteorological Organization announced Thursday t ...

A Monash University-led study is prompting scientists to rethink how the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) system evolved ...

FOX 35 meteorologist Laurel Blanchard explains the difference between El Niño and La Niña, part of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation, and how it can impact the Atlantic hurricane season in the ...

Scientists say the La Niña weather pattern has ended and the new pattern could lead to drought conditions in some regions. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration recently declared ...

In the other, the Southwest has been left high and dry, watching storm clouds bypass overhead. One culprit behind this powder disparity is La Niña—a climate pattern known to tip the snow scales—which ...

This is due to the ever-present jet stream that typically moves from west to east over the Pacific Ocean. The term La Niña is used to define the phenomenon in which the water temperature of the ...

New international research demonstrates global-scale patterns in how El Ni o-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) influences mangrove growth and degradation. Previously, impacts had only been documented at ...
