Predicting the impact of climate change on ecological communities is tricky, but predicting the impact of El Niño, the cyclical warming in the Pacific Ocean that affects temperature and rainfall around the globe, is even trickier.

El Niño has helped to boost temperatures this year, as it leads to warmer ocean waters in the tropical Pacific, as well as warmer surface temperatures in many other spots around the globe, including much of the northern half of the U.S..

Along one string of sites, or «stations,» that stretches from Antarctica to the southern Indian Ocean, researchers have tracked the conditions of AABW — a layer of profoundly cold water less than 0 °C (it stays liquid because of its salt content, or salinity) that moves through the abyssal ocean, mixing with warmer waters as it circulates around the globe in the Southern Ocean and northward into all three of the major ocean baOcean, researchers have tracked the conditions of AABW — a layer of profoundly cold water less than 0 °C (it stays liquid because of its salt content, or salinity) that moves through the abyssal ocean, mixing with warmer waters as it circulates around the globe in the Southern Ocean and northward into all three of the major ocean baocean, mixing with warmer waters as it circulates around the globe in the Southern Ocean and northward into all three of the major ocean baOcean and northward into all three of the major ocean baocean basins.
