La Nina, artwork
La Nina. Computer artwork showing the path and effects of the La Nina climate pattern. La Nina is the cool phase of the El Nino/La Nina-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) that occurs across the tropical Pacific Ocean roughly every five years. The ENSO affects weather systems across the world, bringing extreme weather such as floods and droughts. La Nina generally causes wetter conditions (rain drops) in Southern Africa, Australia and South-East Asia, and drier conditions (sun symbols) along the coastal regions of Peru, Chile and the Southern United States

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork titled "La Nina" beautifully illustrates the path and effects of the La Nina climate pattern. Created through computer art, it showcases the intricate dynamics of this natural phenomenon that occurs approximately every five years in the tropical Pacific Ocean. The cool phase of the El Nino/La Nina-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), La Nina significantly impacts weather systems worldwide, often leading to extreme weather events like floods and droughts. The artwork vividly portrays these contrasting effects on different regions across the globe. In Southern Africa, Australia, and Southeast Asia, La Nina brings about wetter conditions depicted by raindrops falling from clouds. Conversely, along coastal areas of Peru, Chile, and the Southern United States, drier conditions prevail as symbolized by sun symbols shining brightly. With its detailed representation of geography and meteorological patterns, this illustration serves as a valuable tool for climatologists studying global weather phenomena. It offers insights into how La Nina influences rainfall distribution, temperature variations, wind patterns, and overall climatic behavior in various continents. Through this visually striking print from Science Photo Library's collection not intended for commercial use but rather scientific exploration purposes - viewers can gain a deeper understanding of one of nature's most significant climate patterns: La Nina.
