La Niña

La Niña

            I learned that La Niña is a coupled ocean-atmosphere phenomenon that is the counterpart of El Niño as part of the broader El Niño-Southern Oscillation climate pattern. During a period of La Niña, the sea surface temperature across the equatorial Eastern Central Pacific Ocean becomes lower than normal by 3–5 °C.La Niña is defined as a period of at least 5 months of La Niña conditions. The name La Niña originates from Spanish, meaning "the girl," analogous to El Niño meaning "the boy."

            La Niña, sometimes informally called "anti-El Niño", is the opposite of El Niño, where the latter corresponds instead to a higher sea surface temperature by a deviation of at least 0.5 °C, and its effects are often the reverse of those of El Niño.La Niña is often, though not always, preceded by an El Niño.

               I want to know more about the advantages of  La Niña and how to use it and the disadvantages of it and how to conquer it.

               I would like to research on whether La Niña is only due to occurrence of a normal typhoon or simply an occurrence of flood.

               I appreciate the fact that it is our fault that this phenomenon occur abnormally but yet it is not the end, we can still change it.

               I can apply my learnings and insights in promoting to others to minimize the usage of again, materials which release green house gases because it is a leading cause of climate change resulting to La Niña.
