General Resources La Niña Information NOAA Public Affairs - Includes the basics of La Niña and links to more La Niña resources. CPC El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) Climate Prediction Center (CPC) - In depth site with the current status of El Niño, seasonal forecasts and much more. Seasonal Mean Temperatures and Precipitation for the United States during Strong La Niñas is also available from this site. Western Disaster Center La Niña Page Dept. of Geosciences, S.F. State Univ. - Includes Data & Analyses, Advisories & Forecasts, Background Information and links to other La Niña sites. La Niña Homepage Univ. Corporation for Atmospheric Research - Forecasts, data sources, impacts and links to other La Niña sites. Also available from NCAR is the site for the La Niña Summit Workshop held in Colorado, 15-17 July, '98. The director of the Center for Ocean-Atmospheric Prediction Studies at Florida State University , Dr. James J. O'Brien, presented, 'Impacts of ENSO Generated Climate Variations in North America' at this summit. Experimental Climate Prediction Center - Experimental El Niño Forecast Scripps Institute of Oceanography - The forecasts on these pages show the results of ongoing research into forecasting El Ni–o. Keep in mind that these forecasts will not always be correct! Part of our research is trying to make them better. A new El Niño Instructional Module Dept. of Atmospheric Sciences, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign - The El Niño instructional module has been organized into the following sections: Definition, '97-'98 Event, Upwelling, Non-El Niño Years, El Niño Events, Impacts on Weather, Economic Impacts and Detection and Prediction of El Niño. A Prospectus for an IAI Research Cluster for Interannual Climate Research - Also available in Spanish. Trade Climatic Convergence Complex Research Consortium. El Niño-Southern Oscillation D. Reed, Associate Professor of Marine Geology and Geophysics, San Jose State University - Links site to general information on El Niño and the El Niño of '97-'98. El Niño And Climate Prediction ; Suggested Reading University of Washington. El Niño And Climate Prediction Reports to the Nation on Our Changing Planet. ENSO Teleconnections UCAR - There has been a growing interest in using ENSO (El Niño-Southern Oscillation) events in the equatorial Pacific Ocean for forecasting climate anomalies in different parts of the globe. Such linkages, called climatic teleconnections, are used by some countries to forecast impending weather-related problems and their impacts on, for example, food production. Pacific ENSO Applications Center (PEAC) Univ. of Hawaii at Manoa - The Pacific ENSO Applications Center (PEAC) was established in August 1994 as a multi-institutional partnership, to conduct research and produce information products on climate variability related to the El Niño - Southern Oscillation (ENSO) climate cycle in the U.S.-affiliated Pacific Islands. El Niño ; Ocean and Climate University of Washington - School of Fisheries - Links site to El Niño and ocean and climate resources. Western Regional Climate Center El Niño Page Site focuses on El Niño, La Niña and the Western U.S., Alaska and Hawaii. Canadian Meteorological Center (CMC) Gives the Canadian perspective on El Niño by Environment Canada. It includes operational forecasts by the Canadian Meteorological Center and links to other forecasts. An El Niño Theme Page: Accessing Distributed Information related to El Niño from the Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) This is an award winning site maintained by the U.S.Dept of Commerce / NOAA / PMEL / TAO. What is La Niña is also available from this site. El Niño - Southern Oscillation (ENSO) Home Page - Check out the current El Niño NOAA Office of Global Programs - Gives a suite of information, from general descriptions of the El Niño and ENSO phenomena, to collections of predictions from major operational and research climate centres including the International Research Institute's continental-scale forecasts. El Niño Loss Reduction Center Federal Emergency Management Agency - Preparedness: Get Smart, Get Ready! Disasters take many forms. They're caused by gale force winds, sudden floods, releases of deadly chemicals, fire, ice, even upheavals of the earth itself. When disaster strikes, the best protection is knowing what to do. NOAA's El Niño Page NOAA is the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which has primary responsibilities for providing forecasts to the Nation, and a leadership role in sponsoring El Ni–o observations and research. See also the NOAA La Niña page. About El Niño Bureau of Meteorology, Australia. El Niño Educational Module Earth System Science Education Program, Universities Space Research Program (USRA) - Site table of contents: Introduction, Impacts of the ENSO, History of ENSO Research, Understanding the Mechanisms of ENSO, Viewing ENSO, Numerical Models and ENSO Predicition, and Teaching and Learning Resouces.
