Broadly speaking, La Nina is the flip side of El Nino. But as the scientists at last week's workshop agreed, it is not just a mirror image. For one thing, La Ninas in general are never quite as cold as El Ninos are warm. Also, while El Ninos grow in strength with each degree of change in ocean temperature, La Ninas do not. The reason can be traced to the physics that links the atmosphere to the ocean. What allows El Nino to affect weather worldwide is the intrusion of unusually warm water into the eastern Pacific. As this...
