The troposphere is the layer of Earth’s atmosphere closest to the surface, and nearly all meteorological phenomena occur within this region. Approximately 75 to 80 percent of the atmosphere’s total mass is concentrated here. The surface, warmed by absorption of solar radiation, triggers vertical convection within the troposphere. These vertical motions form the basis of processes such as cloud formation, precipitation systems, and the transport of heat and moisture. The thermodynamic structure a

El Niño and La Niña are climate phenomena caused by deviations in sea surface temperatures in the Pacific Ocean, resulting in global-scale climatic effects. El Niño refers to the period when sea surface temperatures in the central and eastern Pacific are higher than normal, while La Niña describes the period when sea surface temperatures in the same region fall below normal. During an El Niño event, the rise in sea surface temperatures alters atmospheric circulation systems, causing anomalies in
