    ENSO Teleconnections and Rift Valley fever (RVF) Outbreaks

    Feb. 21st, 2020
    (updated Nov. 15th, 2023)

    During the 2008-2011 period, ENSO events brought changes to weather conditions across the globe that triggered infectious disease outbreaks, such as mosquito-borne Rift Valley fever (RVF) in South Africa. This visualization with corresponding data dashboard shows how Sea Surface Temperature (SST) anomalies in the equatorial Pacific Ocean (left) gave rise to Precipitation (center) and Vegetation (right) Index Anomalies in South Africa. During La Niña events, Southern Africa receives persistent and above normal rainfall, which floods habitats of RVF mosquito vectors triggering hatching of RVF virus infected eggs. The above-normal rainfall is followed by an increase in vegetation creating appropriate habitats for the mosquito vectors setting the stage for RVF outbreak activity, which in simple terms means an uptick in mosquito populations that cause infections of domestic livestock and human populations with the RVF virus. However, in rare cases there is a departure from this canonical response, as we can observe in 2009-2010, when a mild El Niño event resulted in above normal vegetaton and a large RVF outbreak in South Africa. || ENSO_TeleconnectionsRVF_2008_2011_3840x2160_2960_print.jpg (1024x576) [107.8 KB] || ENSO_TeleconnectionsRVF_2008_2011_3840x2160_3525_searchweb.png (320x180) [63.0 KB] || ENSO_TeleconnectionsRVF_2008_2011_3840x2160_3525_thm.png (80x40) [6.5 KB] || frames/1920x1080_16x9_60p/ENSO_Teleconnections/ (1920x1080) [512.0 KB] || SST_Precip_NDVI_Dashboard_2008_2011_1920x1080_p30.mp4 (1920x1080) [22.7 MB] || frames/3840x2160_16x9_60p/ENSO_Teleconnections/ (3840x2160) [512.0 KB] || frames/3840x2160_16x9_30p/ENSO_Teleconnections/ (3840x2160) [256.0 KB] || ENSO_TeleconnectionsRVF_2008_2011_3840x2160_p30.mp4 (3840x2160) [56.0 MB] || ENSO_TeleconnectionsRVF_2008_2011_3840x2160_p30.webm (3840x2160) [10.2 MB] || ENSO_TeleconnectionsRVF_2008_2011_3840x2160_2960.tif (3840x2160) [3.4 MB] || ENSO_TeleconnectionsRVF_2008_2011_3840x2160_3525.tif (3840x2160) [3.4 MB] ||

    Sea Surface Temperature anomalies and patterns of Global Disease Outbreaks: 2009-2018

    Dec. 10th, 2019
    (updated Nov. 15th, 2023)

    El Niño is an irregularly recurring climate pattern characterized by warmer than usual ocean temperatures in the equatorial Pacific, which creates a ripple effect of anticipated weather changes in far-spread regions. This visualization captures monthly Sea Surface Temperature (SST) anomalies around the world from 2009-2018, along with locations of global disease outbreaks and a corresponding timeline showcasing the Niño 3.4 Index. The Niño 3.4 Index represents average equatorial sea surface temperatures in the Pacific Ocean from about the International Date Line to the coast of South America. Highlighted in the timeline are the above average El Niño years, in which sea surface temperature anomalies peaked during 2015-2016. || SSTENSO_Diseases_Comp_2009_2018_1920x1080_0769_print.jpg (1024x576) [130.6 KB] || SSTENSO_Diseases_Comp_2009_2018_1920x1080_0769_searchweb.png (320x180) [79.7 KB] || SSTENSO_Diseases_Comp_2009_2018_1920x1080_0769_thm.png (80x40) [7.0 KB] || frames/1920x1080_16x9_60p/Composite/ (1920x1080) [256.0 KB] || frames/1920x1080_16x9_30p/Composite/ (1920x1080) [128.0 KB] || SSTENSO_Diseases_Comp_2009_2018_1920x1080_p30.mp4 (1920x1080) [23.0 MB] || SSTENSO_Diseases_Comp_2009_2018_1920x1080_0769.tif (1920x1080) [1.3 MB] || SSTENSO_Diseases_Comp_2009_2018_1920x1080_p30.webm (1920x1080) [4.7 MB] ||

    Precipitation Anomaly and Dengue Outbreaks in South East Asia: 2015-2016

    Feb. 28th, 2019
    (updated Nov. 15th, 2023)

    The 2015-2016 El Niño event brought changes to weather conditions across the globe that triggered regional disease outbreaks, including mosquito-borne dengue fever in Southeast Asia. This visualization with corresponding timeplot graph reveals the relationship between precipitation anomaly in Southeast Asia and dengue outbreaks. Drier than normal habitats drew mosquitoes into populated, urban areas containing the open water needed for laying eggs. As the air warmed, mosquitoes also grew hungrier and reached sexual maturity more quickly, resulting in an increase in mosquito bites. || SEAsia_PrecipDengueComposite_1920x1080_1211_print.jpg (1024x576) [75.8 KB] || SEAsia_PrecipDengueComposite_1920x1080_1211_searchweb.png (320x180) [52.9 KB] || SEAsia_PrecipDengueComposite_1920x1080_1211_thm.png (80x40) [5.4 KB] || SEAsia_PrecipDengueComposite_1920x1080_p30.webm (1920x1080) [6.4 MB] || frames/1920x1080_16x9_30p/SEAsia_PrecipDengue_Composite/ (1920x1080) [256.0 KB] || SEAsia_PrecipDengueComposite_1920x1080_p30.mp4 (1920x1080) [14.8 MB] || SEAsia_PrecipDengueComposite_1920x1080_1211.tif (1920x1080) [1.5 MB] || frames/3840x2160_16x9_30p/SEAsia_PrecipDengueComposite/ (3840x2160) [256.0 KB] ||

    ENSO teleconnections in South East Asia for the period of 2015-2016

    Feb. 28th, 2019
    (updated Nov. 15th, 2023)

    The 2015-2016 strong El Niño event brought changes to weather conditions across the globe that triggered regional infectious disease outbreaks, including mosquito-borne dengue fever in South East Asia. This visualization with corresponding multi-plot graph shows how Sea Surface Temperature anomalies in the equatorial Pacific Ocean (left), resulted in anomalous drought conditions (center) and increase in land surface temperatures (right) in South East Asia. During the 2015-2016 El Niño event, the South East Asia region received below than normal precipitation resulting in drier and warner than normal conditions, which increased the populations of mosquito vectors in urban areas, where there are open water storage containers providing ideal habitats for mosquito production. In addition, the higher than normal temperature on land shortens the maturation time of larvae to adult mosquitos and induces frequent blood feeding/biting of humans by mosquito vectors resulting in the amplification of dengue disease outbreaks over the South East Asia region. || SST_LST_Precip_2014_2016_Comp_print.jpg (1024x576) [82.9 KB] || SST_LST_Precip_2014_2016_Comp_searchweb.png (320x180) [51.5 KB] || SST_LST_Precip_2014_2016_Comp_thm.png (80x40) [6.0 KB] || frames/1920x1080_16x9_30p/SST_Precip_LST_Plot_Composite/ (1920x1080) [128.0 KB] || SST_LST_Precip_2014_2016_Comp_1080p30.mp4 (1920x1080) [9.7 MB] || SST_LST_Precip_2014_2016_Comp.tif (1920x1080) [1.1 MB] || SST_LST_Precip_2014_2016_Comp_1080p30.webm (1920x1080) [4.2 MB] || frames/3840x2160_16x9_30p/TeleconnectionsSEAsia/ (3840x2160) [128.0 KB] ||
