El Niño Computer Model
1. Currents flow are affected by wind, the water's salinity and heat content, bottom topography, and the earth's rotation. Without these factors currents wouldn't be able to form
2. Heat may be another factor that would affect currents. Currents might need to be the right temperature to form.
3. Earth's rotation and strong seasonal winds causes upwelling. Upwelling push surface water away from some western coasts, so water rises on the western edges of continents to replace it. Marine life thrives in these nutrient-rich waters
4. Deep water forms when sea water entering polar regions cools or freezes, becoming saltier and denser. Colder or saltier water then starts to sink .
5. Eastern boundary currents are often associated with upwelling. …show more content…
Yes, I do see a relationship between the wind and surface current. One part of the current goes up and then swivels to the left, and the other part stays in a clockwise direction
17. Typical sea surface temperature anomalies of three to five degrees.
18. I believe the anomaly built the fastest in 1997-1998 because the red indicates how much heat it brings and 1997 have the most red after a year than any other graph.
19. El Niño computer model was the instrument that help scientist. The model was forecasting a cold ocean throughout the remainder of 1997. For more than a decade, this model had outperformed all others in predicting El Niños to come.
20. This gargantuan wedge of warm sea contains 20 or 30 times as much water as all the Great Lakes put together.
21. The wedge of seawater is less waters salty than normal seawater. The reason why is because it's always raining over an El Niño, and the rainwater dilutes the sea.
22. Signs can be read in Arizona tree rings, Himalayan ice-core layers, Corals in New Guinea, and lake bottoms in the Sierra Nevada all have records of evidence for El Ninos.
23. The El Niño phenomenon is called El Niño-Southern Oscillation, a name that reflects its dual
