El Nino may reduce cyclones in Bay of Bengal
A study by INCOIS scientists suggests that El Niño conditions may lead to fewer tropical cyclones in the Bay of Bengal during the post-monsoon season. The research highlights the complex relationship between ENSO phases and cyclone formation patterns.
El Niño, the warming of sea surface temperatures in the central and eastern Pacific Ocean associated with the positive phase of the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO), is already known to influence India’s monsoon. A new study now suggests that ENSO may also play a significant role in determining the number of tropical cyclones that form in the Bay of Bengal during the post-monsoon season (October to December).
