Site Summary: El Nino

This is a programme that is quite technical and more suitable for KS5 and teachers. It initially gives a complex definition of the El Nino phenomena. It comprises a number of coloured photographic images of sea temperatures to show El Nino. One of the pages is at present being updated and therefore not available. Generally I doubt its value to schools other than for the visual images.

However, I would recommend the following site:
