How does wind cause upwelling in the oceans?
El Nino
What are some key features of modoki El Nio events and how do they differ from traditional El Nio events?
Modoki El Nio events are characterized by warmer sea surface temperatures in the central Pacific Ocean, rather than the eastern Pacific as in traditional El Nio events. This can lead to different weather patterns and impacts on global climate. Modoki El Nio events are less common than traditional El Nio events but can still have significant effects on weather patterns around the world.
When is upwelling weaker during a normal pattern El Niño or La Nina event?
Upwelling is weaker during a normal pattern El Niño event. This is because El Niño brings warmer sea surface temperatures, which suppress the nutrient-rich cold water that drives upwelling along the coast. In contrast, La Niña events typically enhance upwelling due to cooler sea surface temperatures.
What the cause of upwelling?
wind
How does el nino affects upwelling?
It causes it to stop or lessen.
What nicknames does Gilbert Melendez go by?
Gilbert Melendez goes by El Nino, Gilbo, and El Nio.
Explain the relationship between El Nino and upwelling?
El nino needs to be answered for real people anyway El nino mixes with upwelling and creates don't know but it can kill you
How do wind cause upwelling?
when they hit something
What does upwelling have to do with el nino?
El Nino reduces upwelling. Normal sea surface temperatures in Pacific tend to be warmer in the west because of upwelling, where warm water flows west because of trade winds and colder water rises up to replace the warm water in the Eastern Pacific. During El Nino, the trade winds get all screwed up and warm water is spread out more evenly in the Pacific. So there is less upwelling and the Eastern Pacific sees warmer sea water.
What isn't associated with upwelling?
Upwelling is when the winds cause nutrient rich waters from lower levels of the ocean to replace the surface water. Upwelling's are usually caused by coastal surges or open oceans.
What two changes in weather patterns caused by el nino that can cause disasters?
Floods, mudslides, drought, and also some changes in upwelling. I know that's four but it gives more of a variety... :) hope I helped!
Why is the warm weather condition of El Nino not good for the fishermen?
Under normal conditions, upwelling at the equatorial Pacific brings up nutrients from the deep ocean, which ultimate provides food for fish. During El Nino, this upwelling is reduced or even reversed, leading to fewer nutrients and thus, fewer fish.
