Orbital forcing, El Niño, La Niña, and the science of climate change

Post by Messele Zewdie Ejeta » 20 Jul 2024, 14:29

A recent report by the Copernicus Climate Change Service of the European Union’s Earth Observation program shows that the year 2023 was the hottest on record, which spans more than a century and a half.

The National Oceanic and Space Administration of the United States describes El Niño and La Niña as climate patterns in the Pacific Ocean that can affect weather worldwide.

Climate science research attempts to attribute climate change to natural variability that cause weather patterns like El Niño and La Niña and man made elevated greenhouse gases in the atmosphere that lead to hottest seasons and years on record.

As part of this attribution effort, I tried to study the effect of orbital forcing of the Earth and the Moon on meteorological variability and its predictability. A peer reviewed journal paper about this study was published several years ago in the UK:

Validation of predicted meteorological drought in California using analogous orbital geometries

A preliminary effort to study the predictability of El Niño and La Niña events was also published as a Proceeding Paper several years ago by the American Society of Civil Engineers:

Validation of Predicted Weak El Niño/La Niña Event during Water Year 2013.

I continue to think that this attribution effort in climate science and climate change studies is an important frontier of research for interested scientists who have the resources to advance it.

Congrats! I am proud of you.

You can start a YouTube video podcast and share your knowledge about climate changes, in each episode of 4-5 minutes.
The world will appreciate you for educating them climate change. You will also be rich.
There are doctors, engineers, physchologists, lawyers, anatomists, architects, carpenters, welders, mechanics, plumbers who teach the public about their trades.
