| "The Little Girl" Does the
Twist |
by Deann Wright
Enid High School, Enid, Oklahoma
(presented at the 1999 Earthstorm Science Fair)
I am really interested in weather
and have been fascinated with El Niño
and thought La Niña would be fun to try. I chose this topic for my project
by reading an article in the Reader's Digest.
To complete my project I calculated
the number of tornadoes in a La Niña
year in the 77 counties of Oklahoma and compared it to the amount of tornadoes
in the non-La Niña years of 1961 - 1993. I concluded that in a non-La
Niña year there are more tornadoes in the 77 counties of Oklahoma than
in a La Niña year. With the exception of Woods County, there was 14
La Niña tornadoes compared to 4 non-La Niña tornadoes.
I learned
a lot about the differences between El Niño and La Niña.
I would like to do another project because I've done Mesonet projects for 6
years and I love it. I would like to thank Mrs. Lori Painter for all of her
help. |
