"The Associated Press
P A S A D E N A, Calif., July 1 ? The weather-altering La
Ni?a phenomenon has all but vanished from the Pacific
Ocean, satellite observations show.
The pool of unusually cool tropical water marked by low sea levels has
shriveled and the equatorial Pacific is warming to normal temperatures,
NASA?s Jet Propulsion Laboratory said this week.
Scientists cautioned that like its warm counterpart, El Ni?o, a La Ni?a
condition will influence global climate and weather until it has completely
subsided. La Ni?a has also shrunk several times and then had a
resurgence over the past 12 months, they said. "
