disk - no endless web surfing to find the nugget of information you need!
El Niņo is an interaction between ocean
currents, waves and winds that affects weather
patterns in much of the world. It causes cold,
wet winters in the southern USA and drought
in Australia. Other regions of the world in turn
also have their weather affected by El Niņo.
Find out how El Niņos develop, what effects
they have and how we measure them in this
unique CD-ROM. The disk is packed with
animations, interviews, movies of severe
weather events and data obtained from the
NOAA's network of sensing buoys moored
across the Pacific Ocean and the
Topex/Poseidon satellite 840 miles above the
earth. The disk also includes enough
background information on weather, climate
and the atmosphere to make sense of every
aspect of the exciting El Niņo phenomenon.
The El Niņo CD-ROM includes chapters on
causes and effects of El Niņos, as well as how
El Niņos are predicted and modelled.
The interface is easy-to-use and features a big
320 x 240 pixel video window for viewing the
30 minutes of video included in the CD-ROM.
All animations and video are fully narrated.
