Corals, it turns out, are like miniature thermometers and rain gauges. When water temperatures rise, these small creatures incorporate less strontium into their skeletons than they do under cooler conditions. Their oxygen content, meanwhile, records salinity swings, which in turn can be used to estimate rainfall. And warm temperatures and heavy rainfall--here, at least--are the telltale markers of El Nino...
...Julie Cole of the University of Colorado used tree rings from hundreds of sites to see how El Nino affected North America in the past. Before 1920, they found, El Nino appears to have affected a much larger region of the U.S. than it does today, channeling winter rain and snow all the way up into the Great Lakes and Great Plains. Afterward, however, its sphere of influence retreated to northern Mexico and the American Southwest. Why the shift? It may be, Cole suggests, that El Nino is overlaid on a different climate cycle that is even more important...
