It has been postulated that a recently emergent "Modoki" form of this event doesn't feature its characteristic depression in Atlantic hurricane rates.
One effect of this phenomenon has been the rerouting of the Kuroshio extension further north. It has been postulated that a recently emergent "Modoki" form of this event doesn't feature its characteristic depression in Atlantic hurricane rates. This phenomenon results from weakened or reversed Walker circulation. Work by Bjerknes linked this phenomenon to one that occurs when the surface air pressure at Tahiti is less than that at Darwin, Australia; that is this phenomenon's atmospheric component, called the Southern Oscillation. For 10 points, name this periodic occurrence in which the central and eastern Pacific warm up, paired with La Nina.
