Why is it helpful to a community to be able to predict an El Nino event?

Fishermen who ply the waters of the Pacific off the coast of Peru and Ecuador have known for centuries about the El Niño. Every three to seven years during the months of December and January, fish in the coastal waters off of these countries virtually vanish, causing the fishing business to come to a standstill. South American fishermen have given this phenomenon the name El Niño, which is Spanish for "the Boy Child," because it comes about the time of the celebration of the birth of the Christ Child. During an El Niño, the physical relationships between wind, ocean currents, oceanic and atmospheric temperature, and biosphere break down into destructive patterns that are second only to the march of the seasons in their impacts to weather conditions around the world.
--------------------------------------...
If the fishing industry can predict El Niño, they will be better able to plan for a time when the fish vanish from the coastal waters. This is how they earn their living, and it is 'very' important to them!

What instruments are used to monitor an el nino?
A variety of different instruments are used to measure and track El Nino. Altimeters, weather satellites, and scatterometers are all necessary instruments for measuring El Nino.
What statement accurately describes a La Nina event?
it has oppiste of the el nino event
Is El Nino man made or a natural cycle?
It's a natural event.
How do scientists tell when an el nino will occur?
Scientists can tell when an El Nino will occur if in the tropical Pacific Ocean, a network of buoys will indicate a change in temperature, currents and winds in the equatorial band. These collected data are evaluated by a computer designed to predict El Nino.
A warm event that occurs in the tropical pacific ocean periodically is known as?

A warm weather event that occurs in the tropical Pacific Ocean periodically?
That would be El Nino.
Did el nino affect the dust bowl?
No, it actually coincided with a La Nina event.
Does el nino cause precipitation?
The occurrance of an El Nino event causes flash flooding and storms in areas such as Sout America, however in Australia, it is known to be the cause of droughts and dry seasons.
