El Niño, the abnormal warming of sea surface temperatures in the Pacific Ocean, is a well-studied tropical climate phenomenon that occurs every few years. Scientists have observed that El Niño greatly influences the yearly variations of tropical cyclones (a general term that includes hurricanes, typhoons, and cyclones) in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. Fei-Fei Jin and Julien Boucharel of SOEST, and I-I Lin at the National Taiwan University recently published a paper in the journal Nature that reports on their discovery of an oceanic pathway that brings El Niño’s heat into the Northeastern Pacific basin two or three seasons after its winter peak — right in time to directly fuel intense hurricanes in that region.
