La Nina means "little girl" in Spanish. During La Nina, more rain falls on the coasts of Australia while South America experiences dry and drought conditions. Australia receives lots of rain, hot water, and wind. El Nino is the opposite of La Nina - it means "little boy" and causes South America to receive heavy rain while Australia goes into drought.
Globally, 2009 was the fifth warmest year on record, and New Zealand experienced its warmest decade. New Zealand's weather in 2009 was notable for unusually cold temperatures in May and October, and record warm temperatures in August. These anomalies were caused by persistent high pressure systems that influenced weather patterns. May saw record low temperatures across much of the country, while August saw record highs. October saw the coldest temperatures in 64 years with widespread snowfall.
El Niño and La Niña refer to opposite phases of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) cycle in the Pacific Ocean and atmosphere. El Niño occurs when warmer than average sea surface temperatures develop in the eastern tropical Pacific, while La Niña has cooler than average temperatures. These phases influence weather patterns around the world. During a strong El Niño, southern California typically sees more powerful storms and higher rainfall, while a La Niña often brings extremely dry conditions to the region.
El Niño and La Niña are climate patterns characterized by fluctuations in sea surface temperatures in the equatorial Pacific Ocean. During El Niño, warm water shifts eastward, suppressing coastal upwelling and reducing nutrients. La Niña has the opposite effect, with stronger trade winds pushing warm water westward and enhancing coastal upwelling and nutrients. These changes impact global weather patterns and ocean productivity.
El Niño and La Niña are opposite phases of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) cycle, which involves irregular changes in ocean temperatures and weather patterns in the equatorial Pacific. El Niño brings unusually warm water to Peru and Ecuador, weakening trade winds and affecting global weather. It occurs every 2-7 years and can cause flooding in some areas and drought in others. The thermocline and convective loops influence the cycle. Scientists monitor buoys and use models to predict when El Niño and La Niña events will occur.
This document provides details on the site location, climate, and case studies of building designs in Jakarta, Indonesia and Kathmandu, Nepal. The site is located in Jakarta along the coast and has a hot and humid tropical climate with little temperature variation year-round and abundant rainfall from December to March. Two case studies describe building designs and performance. Case study 1 analyzes building materials in the Dominican Republic and case study 2 discusses passive solar designs in Kathmandu that remain cool in summer and use solar heating in winter.
La Niña and El Niño are climate patterns that influence weather. La Niña refers to cooler than average water in the Pacific Ocean and causes intense weather like floods and hurricanes. El Niño, Spanish for "the little boy", does not chase warm water and instead causes extreme weather such as floods and drought through blowing warm, moist air from Australia to South America. Both phenomena impact global weather patterns and result in severe conditions.
La Nina occurs when moist air is blown from South America to eastern Australia, bringing cooler temperatures and increased rainfall. El Nino happens when warm water and moist air are blown to South America instead, causing drought in Australia as warmer temperatures and less rain arrive. These phenomena involve shifts in ocean temperatures and air currents in the Pacific that impact weather worldwide.
This highly anticipated session is back again for 2019. Dr. Greg Jones, professor, research climatologist and Evenstad Chair in Wine Studies at Linfield College, will share a 2018 vintage review of the weather, climate trends and production characteristics as well as a forecast for the 2019 vintage.
El Nino is a phenomenon where a mass of warm water moves east across the equatorial Pacific Ocean every 3 to 8 years, usually lasting about a year. It occurs when higher pressure over Asia and lower pressure over South America cause the typical easterly trade winds to weaken or reverse direction, allowing warm water to slosh back along the equatorial Pacific. This affects weather patterns and can cause flooding in some areas and drought in others.
Students will do a role play broadcasting the weekend weather forecast for April 27-28, 2013. On Saturday, cold air in the high atmosphere will cause instability and moderate rain with temperatures from 8 to 13 degrees Celsius. The wind will blow strongly from the north. On Sunday, instability will continue with similar temperatures and moderate north winds. The sea forecast predicts winds from the north of 5-7 strength creating slight to rough seas with regular visibility and 2.5 to 3.5 meter waves.
This document describes the weather and appropriate clothing for different seasons. Summer is hot and dry, allowing people to enjoy beaches and tanning while wearing bathing suits. Winter is cold and wet, so people should cover themselves with jackets, umbrellas, jeans, and shirts. Autumn is a relaxing time to enjoy family while ordinary clothes are suitable depending on location. Spring brings strong winds, sun, leaves, flowers and debris, allowing people to dress in either short or full clothing.
The document discusses the impacts of El Nino and La Nina conditions on weather patterns around the world. During El Nino, sea levels are higher in places like San Francisco due to changes in wind patterns. El Nino also contributes to more hurricanes in the eastern Pacific and less in the Atlantic on average, causing greater damage costs in the US. Tornado activity depends on the location of the polar jet stream, which shifts south during El Nino and north during La Nina. Satellites, ocean buoys, radiosondes and supercomputers are used to monitor conditions and predict El Nino events.

El Niño and La Niña are climate phenomena in the Pacific Ocean that have worldwide impacts. El Niño occurs when ocean waters in the eastern Pacific warm significantly, affecting weather patterns globally. It typically happens every 2-7 years and causes drought in some areas and flooding in others. La Niña is the cooling phase, with colder than average waters in the eastern Pacific. While the exact causes are still being studied, theories involve changes in trade winds and ocean currents that create a feedback loop warming or cooling the waters in the eastern Pacific.

El Niño conditions are currently being observed, with above average sea surface temperatures across the central and eastern Pacific Ocean and atmospheric anomalies consistent with El Niño. El Niño is expected to continue over the next few seasons before transitioning to ENSO-neutral conditions between April and June 2024, according to a 73% probability forecast.
ENSO refers to El Niño and La Niña phenomena in the Pacific Ocean that cause fluctuations in ocean temperatures from normal conditions. El Niño occurs when temperatures are higher than normal for sustained periods, while La Niña refers to lower than normal temperatures. These fluctuations originate off the west coast of South America and can impact global weather patterns, causing floods or droughts. The most recent El Niño occurred from September 2006 to early 2007.
Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

2. La Nina
1. Weak-Mod. La Nina across the Equatorial Pacific continues. I expect it too continue through out Winter
peaking between -0.7 and -1.3 on the ONI.
2. -PDO continues to rage on in the Pacific and I expect the PDO to continue its negative phase through out
Winter.
3. +AMO across the Atlantic continues but notice it isn’t overly warm. I expect the AMO to continue its
warm phase through Winter but some Climate Models suggest a Weak –AMO next year? I don’t expect it
have any significant effect though.
3. SST Comparisons
2010 2011
Now last year ATM we had a Moderate-Strong La Nina going on compared to Weak-Moderate
this year. Notice we have a deeply negative PDO this year like last year along with a +AMO
across the Atlantic but notice it was much warmer last year than this year? SST’s are much
cooler however this year than last year along with slightly different North Atlantic SST
anomalies.
4. SST comparisons continued
2008 2011
Notice this year we have a much stronger Nina but the PDO index and the GOA index is very
similar to this year. AMO was similar in some ways but we can notice a –AMO starting to take
shape in 2008 with cooling anomalies across Western Europe/Africa with different North
Atlantic SST anomalies. Pacific wise it compares nicely.
5. Weak-Mod. La Nina’s
Typical Weak-Moderate La Nina’s as shown above, often mean warmer than
normal temp. anomalies across SE USA and SW USA with below normal
temperature anomalies across the NE, GL’s region, towards the Plains and
much of Western Canada. Storm track can vary yearly however.
6. Highly Negative PDO/La Nina Winters
Most highly negative PDO Winters along with –ENSO featured above normal temp.
anomalies across most of Southern United States and below normal temp. anomalies
across the NE, GL’s region and Western North America or in other words “Typical La Nina
Pattern”. Nice Strong Aleutian HP across the Pacific as you can see above. BTW most of W.
Europe is below normal in terms of temps.
7. -PDO/+AMO and –ENSO Winters
We notice it resembles a “typical” La Nina pattern somewhat with below normal temp.
anomalies across Western North America and extending towards the GL’s region and
warmer than normal temperature anomalies across most of Eastern Canada towards
Atlantic Canada as result of the +AMO and WB –NAO. We also notice the HP anomaly
in the Pacific is closer to Siberia allowing for a Strong PV across the Canadian Side.
8. NAO and AO
Above is a typical –NAO/AO and +NAO/AO setup. As you can see above most
of North America is often very cold relative to normal during a –NAO given
the consistent troughs and Strong PV situated across Canada. On the top
right is the seasonal DJFM NAO index and notice through much of the 40’s
thru the 70’s the NAO was mostly negative, correlating well with the PDO.
IMO I believe the NAM has more connection with the PDO than the
NAO/AO. A +NAO/+AO if often the opposite with a strong Bermuda High in
the Atlantic.
9. NAO and -ENSO
DJF avg. NAO <-0.5 but >-1.5 DJF avg. NAO >0.5 but <1.5
I think you can see that most –NAO Winters often featured below normal temp. anomalies
Across most of North America through the Mid Atlantic region with above normal temp.
Anomalies across NFL and Labrador given the –NAO block and the opposite for when the
NAO was positive. Either way a –NAO would be great for most everyone and either phase for
The PNW/SW B.C.
10. -QBO and -NAO
Instead of explaining the relationship between the QBO and NAO you
can clearly see it above with strong –NAO blocking across the Arctic
with below normal temp. anomalies across Eastern NA and most of
Western Europe. The NAO/QBO correlate well. It seems as though we
may see a +QBO at 50mb and –QBO and 30mb this Winter so I’d
expect a slightly stronger Aleutian Ridge across the Pacific given the
-PDO/-PNA anomaly.
11. Low Solar Years
Low Solar years suggest that much of North America will feature below normal temp.
anomalies with a slightly –NAO/AO anomaly across the North along with below normal
Temp. anomalies across Europe as well. Typical Nina pattern across the West though
with slightly above normal temp. anomalies across far Southern USA. Despite the
increase in Sunspots over the past few months the AP index/KP index has remained
very low, and that leads to me say this Winter will feature a –NAO/-AO anomaly along
with the SST config. across the Atlantic though I don’t expect it to be as negative as the
past two Winters.
12. Overall Teleconnections Summary
• I expect a Weak-Mod La Nina this Winter peaking between -0.7 and -1.3
on the ONI.
• I expect a –QBO at 30hpa mostly with transitioning values at 50hpa.
• Low AP Index, -QBO, SST config. in the Atlantic will likely lead to more
“blocking” this Winter though I don’t expect huge negative anomalies this
Winter.
• -PDO/+AMO this Winter
• Transitional PNA Index with a fluctuating EPO.
18. Overall Summary
Now I did not add monthly snowfall maps because I believe its bullshit creating
monthly snowfall maps because of so many uncertainties. My DJF snowfall map
represents snowfall greater than 5cm (2”) compared to normal. Overall I believe this
Winter should be great nationwide with great snowfall opportunities for many. I had
a hard time figuring temperatures out for December but after analyzing many
indices/climatology I believe I made the right decision for December. I do expect a lot
of clippers and perhaps a few Gulf Low’s this Winter with the possibility of 1-2
Nor'easters. I don’t expect huge blocking like the past two Winters but I expect a
mostly negative AO/NAO index in January/February and neutral-slightly negative
PNA along with a mostly negative EPO. As for Europe I do see a cold and snowy
Winter for Western Europe but I believe most of December should be mostly calm but
January and February will likely be fairly cold and snowy with the blocking setting up
again.
Any questions and comments will be appreciated.
