Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: For reasons not completely understood, in some years the anti-cyclone is less powerful than normal. The weaker winds it produces fail to draw cold waters up to the ocean's surface, thus opening the way for warm, nutrient-poor tropical waters. These changes in water temperature and climatic conditions are known as "El Nino".
Français : Des raisons encore mal comprises, induisent certaines années un anticyclone anormalement faible, qui modifie le movement des eaux froides en surface du Pacifique équatorial, provoquant son réchauffement et un appauvrissement de plusieurs mois en nutriment ("El Nino") avec de fortes modifications écologiques induites. |
