Q. Oceanic Niño Index (ONI), recently seen in news, is released by which organization?
Answer:
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
Notes: The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration forecasts an 83% chance of the Oceanic Niño Index (ONI) shifting to a neutral range by April-June 2024. ONI, a key measure of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), tracks sea surface temperatures in the tropical Pacific. El Niño and La Niña, opposing phases of ENSO, impact global weather, ecosystems, and economies. El Niño brings warmer waters, while La Niña ushers in cooler conditions, occurring irregularly every two to seven years.
