Explain it to me like I’m 5: What’s El Nino? What’s this winter
going to be like?
Warm-Up 10/27 and 28
![Page 3: APES 10/27 and 10/28 Please log in to a computer and pull up your El Nino Assignment. Prepare for a warm-up in your lab book.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062309/5697bfbd1a28abf838ca1dd3/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Abnormally high surface ocean temperatures off the coast of South America
Causes unusual weather patterns across
the globe
El Nino
![Page 4: APES 10/27 and 10/28 Please log in to a computer and pull up your El Nino Assignment. Prepare for a warm-up in your lab book.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062309/5697bfbd1a28abf838ca1dd3/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Starts because the easterly trade winds weaken and allow the warm waters in the Western Pacific to move east toward South America
This changes where the convection current occurs.
Causing rain where it usually doesn't occur and drought where it usually rains
El Nino

El Nino Assignment
![Page 9: APES 10/27 and 10/28 Please log in to a computer and pull up your El Nino Assignment. Prepare for a warm-up in your lab book.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062309/5697bfbd1a28abf838ca1dd3/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Warm currents flow away from the equator.
Cold currents flow toward the equator.
Caused by unequal sunlight, wind, Coriolis effect, gravity
Ocean Currents
![Page 10: APES 10/27 and 10/28 Please log in to a computer and pull up your El Nino Assignment. Prepare for a warm-up in your lab book.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062309/5697bfbd1a28abf838ca1dd3/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Unequal Energy from the Sun
Energy from the Sun heats the water.
Warm water is less dense, so it rises and cold water sinks.
As warm water rises, cold water moves it to replace it.
It’s convection of water!

Wind and Surface Currents
Winds blow across the surface of the water, causing surface currents
Make up 10% of ocean water
Up to maximum depth of 400 m
![Page 13: APES 10/27 and 10/28 Please log in to a computer and pull up your El Nino Assignment. Prepare for a warm-up in your lab book.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062309/5697bfbd1a28abf838ca1dd3/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Causes water to move to the right in the Northern Hemisphere
Causes water to move to the left in the Southern Hemisphere
The Coriolis Effect
![Page 14: APES 10/27 and 10/28 Please log in to a computer and pull up your El Nino Assignment. Prepare for a warm-up in your lab book.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062309/5697bfbd1a28abf838ca1dd3/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Vertical columns or mounds of water at the surface and flow around them
Produce enormous circular currents Five major locations:
North Pacific - clockwise South Pacific - counterclockwise Indian Ocean - counterclockwise South Atlantic - counterclockwise North Atlantic - clockwise
Gyres
![Page 15: APES 10/27 and 10/28 Please log in to a computer and pull up your El Nino Assignment. Prepare for a warm-up in your lab book.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062309/5697bfbd1a28abf838ca1dd3/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Oceanic Gyres
![Page 16: APES 10/27 and 10/28 Please log in to a computer and pull up your El Nino Assignment. Prepare for a warm-up in your lab book.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062309/5697bfbd1a28abf838ca1dd3/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
A strong surface current Begins at the tip of Florida Flows up the eastern coastline of the
U.S. Crosses the Atlantic Ocean Causes warmer climate in NW Europe
Gulf Stream
![Page 17: APES 10/27 and 10/28 Please log in to a computer and pull up your El Nino Assignment. Prepare for a warm-up in your lab book.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062309/5697bfbd1a28abf838ca1dd3/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Winds and Coriolis deflect surface waters
As less dense surface water moves off shore, cold, deep, denser waters come to the surface to replace them.
Major source of nutrients from the benthic layer
Areas with upwelling tend to have greater food chains/fisheries!
Upwelling
![Page 19: APES 10/27 and 10/28 Please log in to a computer and pull up your El Nino Assignment. Prepare for a warm-up in your lab book.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062309/5697bfbd1a28abf838ca1dd3/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Make up about 90% of ocean water Differences in density cause them to move
Caused by diff. temperature and salinity Mixing of surface and deep water called
Thermohaline Circulation Crucial for heat energy and nutrient transport
globally
Deep Water Currents

The Great Ocean Conveyor:Helps maintain Earth’s Balance
![Page 21: APES 10/27 and 10/28 Please log in to a computer and pull up your El Nino Assignment. Prepare for a warm-up in your lab book.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062309/5697bfbd1a28abf838ca1dd3/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
When polar water freezes or evaporates, it leaves behind saltier water.
The cold, salty water sinks because it is denser
Warmer surface currents rise and flow in the opposite direction
Convection
Thermohaline Circulation

Replace water with algae water from my car Fill the sprinkler Once the sprinkler has drained: Measure pH, temp, dissolved oxygen, nitrate,
phosphate We are getting new baseline data before we
add fish and more aquatic plants.
EcoColumns Time!

The world’s biomes are determined by climate
Each has a unique temperature and precipitation pattern
Do the climatograms assignment in your lab book, including the Venn diagrams
