Among the most important factors affecting wind shear in the Atlantic, scientists have learned, are the swings between El Nino and La Nina that occur in the tropical Pacific. Best known for their impact on sea-surface temperatures--El Nino produces a pronounced warming along the equator, La Nina a distinct cooling--these swings also affect atmospheric patterns worldwide. El Nino, for example, promotes high-level westerlies that tear off the tops of Atlantic Ocean storms, while La Nina and La Nada--the name some have given to the neutral phase of the cycle that currently reigns--do the opposite...
...Ninos and La Ninas occur once every two to seven years, whereas hurricane activity in the Atlantic appears to oscillate on time scales that extend over 20 years or more. There are, however, indications that the El Nino cycle may be embedded in a longer-term oscillation, widely known as the PDO, or Pacific decadal oscillation. Some scientists are convinced that the PDO has shifted into a mode in which El Ninos, which dominated the 1980s and '90s, have become muted, allowing La Ninas and La Nadas and their attendant hurricanes to become more prominent...
