ENSO or El Niño Southern Oscillation.
In the tropical Pacific Ocean:
- Warming of the surface waters in the east and high air pressure in the west is called El Niño.
- Cooling of the surface waters in the east and low air pressure in the west is called La Niña.
Some of the effects of El Niño:
- Increased summer rains in Peru and Ecuador.
- Fish populations there die off, hurting the local fisheries.
- NW American winters are warmer and drier.
- NW Mexico and SW US states have cooler and wetter winters.
- Spring in East Africa is wetter.
- Northern Australia is drier, leading to more bush fires.
