#OzWatch: La Nina joined by the India Ocean Dipole. Jeremy Zakis, New South Wales. #FriendsofHistoryDebatingSociety - a podcast by John Batchelor

Photo:   Water temperatures around the Mentawai Islands dropped about 4° Celsius during the height of a positive phase of the Indian Ocean Dipole in November 1997. During these events unusually strong winds from the east push warm surface water towards Africa, allowing cold water to upwell along the Sumatran coast. In this image blue areas are cooler than normal, while red areas are warmer than normal.
