The irregular swings between warm and wet El Ni\u00f1o conditions in the equatorial Pacific and the cold and dry La Ni\u00f1a event influence weather conditions worldwide, with impacts on ecosystems, agriculture and economies. Climate models predict that the difference between El Ni\u00f1o- and La Ni\u00f1a-related tropical rainfall will increase over the next 80 years, even though the temperature difference between El Ni\u00f1o and La Ni\u00f1a may change only very little in response to global warming. A new study published in Communications Earth &amp; Environment uncovers the reasons for this surprising fact.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2021-02-future-ocean-boosts-tropical-rainfall.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Future ocean warming boosts tropical rainfall extremes<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The El Ni\u00f1o-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is the most energetic naturally occurring year-to-year variation of ocean temperature and rainfall on the planet.
