El Niño/La Niña

Overview

• El Niño/La Niña is a naturally occurring 2-7 year cycle of the ocean-atmosphere system in the Tropical Pacific having important consequences for weather and climate around the globe. This page provides a one-stop source for NOAA National Data Center (NNDC) reports and data related to El Niño and La Niña. It links to on-line reports describing El Niño/La Niña-influenced weather events, to various datasets and images, and to other sites with additional information.
