Very excited to see our work on the different types of El Niño published today @NatureGeosci showing dramatic changes of El Niño towards more Central and stronger Eastern Pacific El Niño events @unimelb @Monash_Science @uow @anuearthscience @CSIROnews #climatechange @NASA @NOAA

El Niño is one of the most important weather phenomena on Earth & comes in 2 types: warming occuring in the central Pacific vs strong traditional El Niño in the Eastern Pacific. How El Niño will behave with future climate change is an open question. rdcu.be/bAxOG

Using coral records, we show that the number of Central Pacific El Nino events has increased by the end of the 20th century, with fewer but stronger eastern Pacific El Niño events

It appears that El Niño has rapidly become stronger and stranger bit.ly/2Lsg5zH via
@ConversationEDU Changes that will influence patterns of precipitation and temperature extremes in #Australia, #Southeast Asia and the #Americas.

It's been an exciting journey to unravel the history of El Niño flavours and being able to detect those recent changes showing possibly one of the most significant changes in El Nino that we have seen so far. (link: bit.ly/2Lsg5zH) bit.ly/2Lsg5zH

Behind the paper explains a little bit more about the #coral records and the #MachineLearning method we used to identify the different types of El Niño. go.nature.com/2J4HMMF

Find our paper here rdcu.be/bAxOG showing "by the end of the 20th century [..] a sharp increase of Central Pacific El Niño events becomes evident. At the same time the number of conventional Eastern Pacific events stayed relatively low but [..] were unusually strong"
