Now that El Nino and its sis-
ter, La Nina, are history, what do
wo blanw for our weather? Not
to worry, we'll have another El
Nino in the future, says Texas
A&M University professor Ben-
jamin Giese In the meantime, we
can predict conditions over the
long-term just by looking al the
calendar
"Although our weather patterns
show a strong correlation with the
fluctuations of El Nino, 73 per-
cent of our weather is due to nor-
mal seasonal variations," said Mr
Giese, who teaches and conducts
research for Texas A&M’s De-
partment ot Oceanography.
"For example, we always have
winter storms, regardless of El
Nino. "El Nino does exert a
strong influence on patterns of
precipitation and temperature in
Texas, with colder, wetter winters
and warmer drier summers in
years when an El Nino is present,’’
he observed
"But these effects still account
fra only 23 percent of our weather
variance in any given year." El
Nino is the name of the current
that warms the eastern equatorial
Pacific Ocean off the coast of
South America. The water there
is usually cold, but El Nino raises
surface water temperatures a
maximum of four (o live degrees
Centigrade. These changes occur
in the tropics over a nine to 12
month cycle, gradually warming,
then reluming to normal again.
La Nina is the opposite of El
Nino, with ocean temperatures
colder than usual, resulting in (—L----- ----
