While El Niño is a cyclical climate phenomenon in the Pacific Ocean — marked by
warmer ocean temperatures in the tropics and a weakening of the usual easterly
trade winds — it can impact weather around the globe.
Every five years or so, weakening
trade winds cause a shift to
warmer than normal ocean temperatures in the eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean, a phenomena known as El Niño.
During normal conditions,
trade winds blow to the west across the tropical Pacific Ocean, piling up
warm surface water in the western Pacific, and cold, deeper water rises up, or upwells, off the west coast of South America.
The
trade winds weakened again, and the already
warm water in the central Pacific helped push things along, in McPhaden's words, «leading El Niño to rise, phoenix - like, from the ashes.»
Partly in response to the
