Explore the impact of El Niño on California's climate through a comprehensive analysis of the rain shadow effect created by the Sierra Nevada. This project investigates how prevailing westerly winds influence local weather patterns in Los Angeles, comparing normal conditions with those brought on by El Niño. It delves into the principles of latitude, climate zones, and the structure of the atmosphere, including the stratosphere, tropopause, and troposphere. An engaging visual diagram illustrates ocean circulation and airflow patterns, enhancing understanding of local meteorology.
