Where does la nina originate?

Question

thank you! [:

Answer 1

Its the regular cycle of an ocean-atmospheric system, that is reversed in an El Nino event (such as that in 1998).

It causes dry, cold weather in western USA and warm, wet weather in the western pacific. Winds blow from east to west, often leading to water 'piling up' in the western pacific.

When La nina is reversed, it can often cause a change in worldwide climate patterns, in the more extreme pattern of El Nino.

"El Nino-La Nina Cycle. The cooler than normal equatorial region just to the west of South America is a reflection of the ongoing La Nina phase of a phenomenon dubbed the Southern Oscillation. In the La Nina phase of the El Nino-La Nina cycle the equatorial winds in the Pacific Ocean blow with stronger than average force from the east, driving warm surface waters toward the Western Pacific. This induces upwelling of cold deep water near Peru, which then spreads westward along the equator. Figure 2, the surface temperature anomaly for July-December, shows that the La Nina equatorial cooling is strong in the second half of the year. The La Nina should thus continue to affect global temperatures into 2008."

Answer 3

All heat is lost, eventually = laws of thermodynamics.

At one time the Earth was a molten ball of magma billions of years ago. It has been cooling to the point now there is a relatively VERY Thin crust with tremendous heat just a few miles below us.

Watch the thumbs down from the true Denialists/Alarmists that want to ignore the heat below!

Answer 4

La Niña is characterized by unusually cold ocean temperatures in the Equatorial Pacific, compared to El Niño, which is characterized by unusually warm ocean temperatures in the Equatorial Pacific.

Answer 5

It originates in the polluted dishonest minds of those who wish to dispell the effects of manmade pollution.  It is only a nonreal scapegoat that has been a government backed theory for the last 15 years.
