Australian bush fires in 2019 and 2020 helped produce a rare multiyear La Niña event half a world away. Researchers say the far-off wildfires contributed to an unusual streak of La Niña winters in the United States.
A climate chain reaction had begun. The emissions fueled aerosol particles that brightened clouds in the Southern Hemisphere, where the air then became cooler and drier through late 2019 and early 2020. In turn, the region where the northern and southern trade winds meet shifted, and sea surface temperatures cooled across the tropical Pacific Ocean. Factors converged to push the ocean into a La Niña event that continued through last winter.
Usually, La Niña follows El Niño, in which the tropical Pacific warms, the northern United States gets drier and warmer, and the southern part of the country experiences cooler, wetter weather. “Many people quickly forgot about the Australian fires, especially as the covid pandemic exploded, but the Earth system has a long memory, and the impacts of the fires lingered for years,” said
