杜克大学的研究显示,古老的2.5亿年厄尔尼诺现象与历史上激烈的事件同时存在。 250-million-year-old El Niño phenomenon existed with historically intense events, Duke University study reveals.

杜克大学的一项研究显示,厄尔尼诺现象是同全球天气变化有关的重大气候振荡现象,已经存在了2.5亿多年。 A Duke University study reveals that the El Niño phenomenon, a significant climate oscillation linked to global weather changes, has existed for over 250 million years. 研究人员利用先进的气候模型,发现历史上的厄尔尼诺现象往往比目前更为严重。 Utilizing advanced climate modeling, researchers found that historical El Niño events were often more intense than current instances. 这项研究强调,了解过去的气候对于今后作出准确的气候预测十分重要,对厄尔尼诺现象是最近的事态发展这一假设提出了挑战。 This research underscores the importance of understanding past climates for creating accurate future climate projections, challenging the assumption that El Niño is a recent development.
