La Niña

I learned that La Niña is a coupled ocean-atmosphere phenomenon that is the counterpart of El Niño as part of the broader El Niño-Southern Oscillation climate pattern. During a period of La Niña, the sea surface temperature across the equatorial Eastern Central Pacific Ocean will be lower than normal by 3–5 °C. In the United States, an episode of La Niña is defined as a period of at least 5 months of La Niña conditions. The name La Niña originates from Spanish, meaning "the girl," analogous to El Niño meaning "the boy”. La Niña, sometimes informally called "anti-El Niño", is the opposite of El Niño, where the latter corresponds instead to a higher sea surface temperature by a deviation of at least 0.5 °C, and its effects are often the reverse of those of El Niño. El Niño is famous due to its potentially catastrophic impact on the weather along both the Chilean, Peruvian, New Zealand, and Australian coasts, among others. It has extensive effects on the weather in North America, even affecting the Atlantic Hurricane Season. La Niña is often, though not always, preceded by an El Niño. I want to know more about the factors that causes La Niña to occur in a certain place. I would like to research on how we can prevent/ lessen the extent damage La Niña can brought to us. I appreciate the fact that the government implements law and order that concerns about the cleanliness in the environment, that could help reduce the effect La Niña can cause. I can apply my learning and insights in my everyday life like for example cooperate in maintaining the cleanliness in our environment for us to prevent flooding when La Niña came.
