Revolutionizing El Niño Monitoring: How Satellites are Tracking Patterns
In a first-of-its-kind effort, scientists have developed a new technique to track El Niño patterns using satellites. By combining data from a variety of satellites, the team was able to detect El Niño patterns in the Pacific Ocean up to two weeks earlier than previously possible. This could provide critical advance notice for those who rely on El Niño predictions for agricultural planning and weather forecasting. The results of this study have been published in the journal Nature Communications.
