The El Niño climate pattern, when it occurs, presents as warmer-than-usual water in the equatorial region of the Pacific Ocean. The changes in temperature and rainfall that ensue from this warmer water can affect natural disasters, crop yields and even the proliferation of disease — but El Niño’s variations can be hard to predict. Recently, researchers at the University of Texas at Austin applied supercomputing power from the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) to study these variations.
