El Nino Modoki
El Nino Modoki first came in news in 2010. The El Nino is a periodic warming in the eastern tropical Pacific that occurs along the coast of South America. In 2010, the scientists observed that the El Nino warming is stronger in the Central Pacific rather than the Eastern Pacific, a phenomenon known as El Nino Modoki (Modoki is a Japanese term for "similar, but different").It was hypothesized that El Nino Modoki drives a climate pattern known as the North Pacific Gyre Oscillation (NPGO).
