La Nina and Indian Climate
Formation/Genesis
- Spanish for "La Nina" is "The Little Girl." Some people refer to it as El Viejo, the opposite of El Nino, or just "a cold event."
- La Nina occurrences are characterised by periods of below-average sea surface temperatures in the eastern central Equatorial Pacific, as shown by a sea surface temperature decrease of more than 0.9°F for at least five consecutive three-month seasons.
- When there is a strong high pressure system over the eastern equatorial Pacific as a result of the Eastern Pacific's water temperature becoming noticeably cooler than usual, a La Nina event occurs.
