El Nino ?'s

#1 Postby cyclonaut » Tue Apr 26, 2005 10:50 am

1.If one was underway right now how long before it would be fully developed?

2.What part of the Atlantic Basin does El Nino induced shear affect?

3.Is there a lag with an El Nino?Do the effects that an El Nino produces that causes changes all over the planet begin immediately or does it take time?

I think EL Nino produces very high shear in the Atlantic basin during hurricane season preventing upward draft to feed the storm. This is just a guess I could be way off.I also think that their is a 2 to 3 month delay of El Nino from onset.

Canegrl04,

El Niños can develop and reach moderate proportions prior to autumn. Some examples include 1965, 1982, 1991, and 1994.
