El Nino arrives in the Pacific Ocean; causes concerns of extreme weather patterns | Oneindia News

After 2016, El Nino is back in the Pacific Ocean, The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), USA, declared on Thursday that the weather-changing El Nino that packs the power to blunt the Atlantic hurricane season has begun.

El Nino, which in Spanish means little boy, is a climate pattern that develops along the equatorial Pacific Ocean after an interval of a few years ranging between 2 and 7 years.

Globally, El Nino has been often associated with severe heatwaves, floods and droughts in the past.

Sea surface temperatures across the equatorial Pacific Ocean have risen 0.5C (0.9F) above normal and wind patterns have changed to the point where El Nino criteria have been met, the US Climate Prediction Center said Thursday.

Here’s What an Impending El Niño Winter Could Mean for the US

Here’s What an Impending El Niño Winter , Could Mean for the US. The phenomenon known as El Niño began in June, CNN reports. It is forecast to be strong this coming winter and endure into next spring, NOAA's Climate Prediction Center says. The jet stream usually shifts south amid an El Niño winter. This typically results in the South experiencing wetter and cooler weather, while the North encounters drier and warmer conditions, NOAA says. This typically results in the South experiencing wetter and cooler weather, while the North encounters drier and warmer conditions, NOAA says. The South can also become more susceptible to "freezing rain, sleet and snow," CNN reports. If typical trends arise, this would be unfortunate for the Midwest, which is dealing with drought, . and for the Pacific Northwest, which relies on snowpack as a water source. El Niño winter patterns aren't as predictable in areas such as California, the Southwest and the Northeast. El Niño's strength will determine precipitation conditions. For example, the 2018-2019 season experienced a weak El Niño which produced America's wettest winter on record with above-average temperatures. But during the 2015-2016 season, a strong El Niño contributed to the U.S.' warmest winter on record, NOAA reports. However, there were still massive snowstorms, including an East Coast blizzard that resulted in fatalities and halted travel

Gizmodo reports that scientists have discovered a new virus deep within the Mariana Trench. The virus, which feeds on certain bacteria, was discovered at a greater depth than any other virus. The Mariana Trench, with a depth of 36,000 feet, is found in the Pacific Ocean and is the deepest trench on Earth. Previously, scientists have discovered new species of fish, shrimp and an assortment of microbes within the trench. The new virus, which has been named vB_HmeY_H4907, was discovered by a team of researchers from China and Australia. It was isolated from sediment returned to the surface from a depth of 8,900 meters, or over 29,000 feet. According to the team, the discovery is part of a family of previously-unidentified viruses, which has now been dubbed Suviridae. To our best knowledge, this is the deepest known isolated phage in the global ocean, Min Wang, Virologist at the Ocean University of China, via Gizmodo. The team's discovery was published in the journal 'Microbiology Spectrum.'. The team plans to continue searching for viruses in the Earth's most inhospitable environments. . Extreme environments offer optimal prospects for unearthing novel viruses, Min Wang, Virologist at the Ocean University of China, via Gizmodo

US State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller reacted on India-Canada diplomatic standoff. He refrained himself from commenting on recent diplomatic rift between India and Canada. He said, "One of the practices I'm going to continue to try to adhere to, is to not speak publicly about what, Secretary Blinken or other representative of this department will say in their meetings before. Before the Secretary has a chance to say it directly to those counterparts. We have consistently engaged with the Indian Government on this question and have urged them to cooperate. And that engagement and the urge for them to cooperate will continue. They can speak for themselves. I’m not going to speak to what they say in private diplomatic conversations.

Northern Lights Visible Across North America After Massive Solar Eruption

Northern Lights Visible , Across North America , After Massive Solar Eruption. On September 18, skywatchers across the United States and Canada were wowed by brilliant northern lights following a powerful eruption on the sun. NBC reports that the vivid light show was visible in multiple Western and Midwestern states, from Montana to Minnesota. The northern lights, otherwise known as the aurora borealis, are the result of charged particles from solar storms interacting with Earth's atmosphere. Normally, the northern lights are only visible in the night sky at higher latitudes. . During periods of intense solar activity the aurora borealis can be spotted further south than normal. The latests auroras were the result of a coronal mass ejection that occurred on September 16. On September 18, the Aberdeen, South Dakota, branch of the National Weather Service released photos of the auroras. Similarly, skywatchers in Glasgow, Montana, reported seeing dazzling displays, despite overcast conditions. NBC reports that the auroras are best viewed from dark locations away from light pollution. A short-term forecast of the northern lights can be found at NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center's aurora dashboard
