What Are the Impacts of El Niño/La Niña?
ENSO Impacts Are Global in Scope
The effects of ENSO are often called teleconnections, emphasizing that changing conditions in one part of the world can affect areas far from the source.
The impacts of ENSO on the United States are most noticeable in the cold season.
