According to a new scientific investigation, it would appear that unseasonal temperature variations brought on by the El Nino atmospheric pattern is have a tremendous effect on fish populations living in South Pacific coral reefs. The conclusion belongs to an international team of biologists, that spent more then fou... |

El Nino along with climate change might just trigger the El Nino Modoki that causes long-term changes in the sea currents in the north Pacific Ocean, scientists reported online, in the journal Nature Geoscience.Nobody knows exactly if El Nino Modoki appeared as a consequence of climate change on the traditional form ... |

Climatologists draw attention to the fact that a relatively new, yet-unstudied type of El Nino is making its presence felt more and more in the world, with potentially significant implications for climate change patterns.Researchers say that this El Nino warms water in the central-equatorial Pacific Ocean, a fact tha... |

The Galapagos Islands, some of the most famous in the world, have already been drastically altered by global warming and human activity. Their marine ecosystems have been destroyed by artificial structures, overfishing, and the introduction of sea urchins that destroy coral reefs, and there isn't much that anyon... |

El Nino and La Nina are two atmospheric phenomena in the tropical Eastern Pacific Ocean and represent global atmosphere-ocean connections. They occur periodically, and cause significant temperature fluctuations in the oceanic waters. Recently, meteorologists estimated that El Nino could begin its development the next... |

For a very long time, scientists have known that the Northern Atlantic is one of the most influential areas in the world, as far as climate goes. The El Nino weather pattern originates here, and it couples with a phenomenon known as the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) to generate much of the weather patterns across ... |

Nature appears to be slowed down by the coming of winter, which might make you think that scientists could also become a little lazy during this season. Well, you couldn't be farther from the truth, as nature keeps spoiling us with scientific treats. It all starts with the weather, which gets much colder. But th... |

The news regarding climate change has recently gone from bad to the very worst. By predicting the weather and ocean conditions in the following months researchers discovered that there is a relatively good chance than at the end of this summer there will be little or no ice left at the North Pole. The probability of ... |

There have been some voices lately blaming global warming on the increased solar activity, however this claim is mostly based on pure speculation rather than scientific analysis, says a recent study verifying the role of the Sun in the current climatic changes which take place all over the world. Computer simulations... |
