Oscillation Rules as the Pacific Cools
|
|
9 December 2008 -
The latest image of sea-surface height measurements from the U.S./French Jason-1 oceanography satellite shows the Pacific Ocean remains locked in a strong, cool phase of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation, a large, long-lived pattern of climate variability in the Pacific associated with a general cooling of Pacific waters. The image also confirms that El Niño and La Niña remain absent from the tropical Pacific.

Snow-kissed Alps |
|
The snow-capped, crescent-shaped Alps and Italy’s Apennines mountain chain are shown in this image acquired by Envisat's Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) instrument on 8 December 2008. Due to this snow cover and a relatively low illumination angle of the sun, the ranges and valleys of the mountains stand out in the image.
