Some researchers

Some researchers say they have found the relationship between the Sun and the La Nina and El Nino in the tropical Pacific Ocean.

New study, which broadcast Thursday (16 / 7) by the U.S. National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), may smooth the way for a better prediction of temperature and precipitation patterns at certain times during the average 11 years of sun circle.

NCAR researchers use the computer for example to answer questions about the long relationship between the sun and global climate.

Studies show that when the sun reaches the maximum, the sun warming a lot of cloud-free in the Pacific Ocean just to increase evaporation, increasing rainfall and cool down the eastern tropical Pacific.

The result is similar to the La Nina events, although the cooling is concentrated in areas more to the east and only half of the typical strong La Nina.

During the next year or two, such as the La Nina pattern that is triggered by the sun tends to move the maximum to be the El Nino pattern, because the flow of slow moving water replaces the cold region above the tropical eastern Pacific, with more hot water than usual.

Can not be denied that the La Nina and El Nino related to changes in surface water temperatures in the eastern Pacific. All that can affect weather patterns around the world, said the researchers.
