The arrival of El Niño in the tropical Pacific Ocean triggers a cascade of changes in tropical rainfall and wind patterns that echo around the globe. For the United States, the most significant impact is a shift in the path of the mid-latitude jet streams. These swift, high-level winds play a major role in separating warm and cool air masses and steering storms from the Pacific across the U.S. This map illustrates the typical impacts of El Niño on U.S. winter weather. During El Niño, the Pacific jet stream is more reliable across the southern tier of the United States. Southern and interior Alaska and the Pacific Northwest tend to be warmer than average, and the southern tier of U.S. states—from California to the Carolinas—tends to be wetter than average. Farther north, the Ohio and Upper Mississippi River Valleys may be drier than usual. One or more of these climate patterns have occurred during many El Niño events in the past. That doesn’t mean that all of these impacts happen during every episode. Every event is somewhat different. In other words, the influence of El Niño on U.S. winter climate is a matter of probability, not certainty. El Niño and La Niña are opposite phases of a natural climate pattern across the tropical Pacific Ocean that swings back and forth every 3-7 years on average. El Niño and La Niña alternately warm and cool large areas of the tropical Pacific—the world’s largest ocean—which significantly influences where and how much it rains there. Like a boulder dropped into a stream, this shift in the location of tropical rainfall disrupts the atmospheric circulation patterns that connect the tropics with the middle latitudes, which in turn modifies the mid-latitude jet streams. By modifying the jet streams, El Niño and La Niña can affect temperature and precipitation across the United States and other parts of the world. The influence on the U.S. is strongest during the winter (December-February), but it may linger into early spring.

This is a view from orbit of the Caspian Sea as imaged by the MODIS sensor on the Terra satellite. Caption: The original caption from NASA : ::"The northern part of the Caspian Sea is plagued by a process called eutrophication , in which agricultural run-off rich in fertilizers stimulates rampant growth of algae in the water. The death and decay of these algae robs the water of oxygen, with obvious negative consequences for aquatic life. This image of the Caspian Sea shows swirls of green and blue near the mouth of the Volga River (top center), which indicate the presence of algae. The bright blue color of the northeastern part of the sea may be due to a mixture of plant life and sediment, for this is where the sea is most shallow. This image is from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on the Terra satellite on June 11 , 2003 .

Worm Bay at Port Campbell National Park , Peterborough, Victoria , Australia Port Campbell National Park is located on the south coast of Victoria along the Great Ocean Road and protects a spectacular coastal landscape of limestone, cliffs, caves , and natural bridges. Its geological formation dates back millions of years: over thousands of years, layers of limestone and shells formed caves, gateways, and towers, which were repeatedly eroded by the Southern Ocean. The coast also served as a habitat for indigenous groups in the region, including the Wergaia and Eastern Maar communities. From the 1950s/60s onwards, the area was designated a protected area to preserve its exceptional geology, wildlife, and flora and to manage visitor flows in a sensible manner. Special features include the famous limestone cliffs, narrow passages, natural bridges, and steep cliffs; highlights such as the Twelve Apostles , Loch Ard Gorge, and other coastal formations attract many visitors each year. The sea is home to seals, seabirds, and rich marine fauna, while the rocky shores also support maritime flora. Hiking trails, lookout points, and boat tours offer insights into geology, geomorphology, and coastal protection—a harmonious combination of natural wonders and historical perspective.
