El Niño is STILL growing as Nasa predicts ‘weather chaos’ for 2016 as ‘Godzilla’ phenomenon hits America
Nasa warns US of ‘the arrival of steady, heavy rains and snowfall.’ In the United States El Niño’s biggest impacts are expected in early 2016. The current strong El Niño brewing in the Pacific Ocean shows no signs of waning, new Nasa images have revealed.
El Niño 2015 has already created weather chaos around the world,’ Nasa said.
Over the next few months, forecasters expect the United States to feel its impacts as well.
The latest Jason-2 image bears a striking resemblance to one from December 1997, by Jason-2’s predecessor, the Nasa /Centre National d’Etudes Spatiales (CNES) Topex/Poseidon mission, during the last large El Niño event.
The images show nearly identical, unusually high sea surface heights along the equator in the central and eastern Pacific: the signature of a big and powerful El Niño.
Higher-than-normal sea surface heights are an indication that a thick layer of warm water is present.
El Niños are triggered when the steady, westward-blowing trade winds in the Pacific weaken or even reverse direction, triggering a dramatic warming of the upper ocean in the central and eastern tropical Pacific.
Clouds and storms follow the warm water, pumping heat and moisture high into the overlying atmosphere.
These changes alter jet stream paths and affect storm tracks all over the world.
