Insights and Reflections #4: La Niña
Today I learned that La Niña is a coupled ocean-atmosphere phenomenon that is
the counterpart of El Niño as part of the broader El Niño-Southern
Oscillation climate pattern. During a period of La Niña, the sea surface
temperature across the equatorial Eastern Central Pacific
Ocean will be lower than normal by 3–5 °C.The name La
Niña originates from Spanish, meaning "the girl,"
analogous to El Niño meaning "the boy."
I will apply my learning about La Niña in
my everyday living for me to become aware and responsible about my actions .
Learning about this phenomenon is important because if we know what
are the effects of this phenomenon we can be able to prepare ourselves in such
situations like this.
On a larger scale, I will share my learning about this phenomenon to
others because I want them to be knowledgeable about La Niña. And I also want
them to be ready when something bad happens that is caused by or related to
this phenomenon.
I
need to know more about La Niña and its effects because this is one
of the phenomenons that will surely affect us and our daily activities.
