Effects of El Niño on plankton & marine north hemisphere

By

During summer El Niño cycle, there is no upwelling ( or lesser upwelling) in warmer ocean in the Pacific and Atlantic. As a result, some of the fragile cold water marine communities can’t stand this unusual warm temperature. Every El Niño cycle, whale, fishes die at the seashore in the Largest Pacific.

Southern ocean, ( Indian Ocean) have greater upwelling, and gyre. (mixing of warm and cold) where whale populations prosper. Antarctica is the only refuge for whale to survive during warmer temperature of El Niño. Corals and marine species like plankton have more chance of surviving thus prevent drought in the Southern ocean.

On the other hand, warmer ocean in the Pacific and Atlantic desert region get longer drought conditions, because plankton, and other marine species that maintain cooler temperature weakened during the El Niño period. It is extremely important to keep the cool in the Pacific and Atlantic in order to prevent drought and improve hydrological cycle in land/ water surface.
Meteorology ( POW weather forecast, Weatherman) has been keeping up on ocean conditions ( land/ surface).

Vulnerable places in North Hemisphere : Pacific Ocean , desert region

Atlantic Ocean: Gulf Coast, Florida Islands
