  1. el nino southern oscillation

    The El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) refers to a large-scale climatic cycle in the Pacific Ocean characterized by variations in the temperature of the surface of the tropical eastern Pacific Ocean (warming or cooling known as El Nino and La Nina respectively) and in air surface pressure in the tropical western Pacific. The two variations are coupled: the warm phase, El Niño, accompanies high air surface pressure in the western Pacific, while the cold phase, La Niña, accompanies low air surface pressure in the western Pacific. This cycle influences global climate patterns and is associated with floods, droughts, and other weather disturbances in many countries.
