Do we actually know for sure that a super el Nino will act the same way that other super el Ninos have acted in the past.
The only reason im asking is because of the last year of la Nina. Most of the effects of the la nina last year were similar to a el nino effect so does that mean that the el nino could be more similar to the typical la nina? I am aware that no one will know exactly what will happen but based on predictions. Also as the climate heats up is it possible that we will need to re-calibrate how we classify the ocean temps to determine a la nina or el nino because the average temp is higher meaning the water on average should be a little warmer?
