“normal” or “neutral”
• Equatorial trade winds blow westward
• Water “piles up” in western Pacific Ocean
• Water is warmer in western Pacific Ocean
• Upwelling of colder water in eastern Pacific Ocean
• Normal precip patterns

What is the jet stream?
• Current of air flowing 150 to 300 mph
• High in troposphere (about 10 km)
• Over the boundary between 2 air masses.
• Usually blows from west to east.
• Aircraft can use or avoid a jet stream.

What causes the jet stream?
• The temperature difference between 2 air masses.
• The greater the temp. diff., the faster the jet stream.
• Seasons (temp. diff.) can cause jet stream to shift position. Also the ENSO.

• Tradewinds slow and/or stop
• Warm water covers more of equator
• No upwelling in eastern Pacific Ocean (collapse of fishing industry in Peru)
• Global change in weather patterns

NOAA / PMEL / TAO Project Office / El Niño Theme Page What are La Niña, El Niño and Normal Conditions
in the tropical Pacific Ocean?
La Niña is characterized by unusually cold ocean temperatures in the equatorial Pacific. El Niño is characterized by unusually warm ocean temperatues in the Equatorial Pacific Ocean.
These are graphics of the Reynolds Sea Surface Temperature (SST) analysis from the National Center for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) for the entire Pacific Ocean (70N to 70S). Also see plots of the Sea Surface Temperature Anomalies (the amount that the temperature differs from the normal value for the month). Also available is a graph of sea surface temperature for the entire Pacific Ocean.

Put the TAO/TRITON data into a computer model
Now can forecast path of storm track
![Page 35: El Nino - Southern Oscillation. normal or neutral Equatorial trade winds blow westward Water piles up in western Pacific Ocean Water is warmer in western](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061305/5513eba35503463a298b5d73/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Note that the location of the jetstream is influenced by the location of the convection, e.g. the main mean jetstream for La Niña starts to the left of the normal scenario. These are the teleconnections to our mid-latitude weather.

ENSO
• The El Nino-Southern Oscillation Cycle• During normal years, equatorial trades
blow west• Ocean is 0.5 m higher & warmer in
western Pacific• Upwelling currents in eastern Pacific• 20 – 30 cm annual precip in San Diego• (8 to 12 inches)
