Definitions: El Niño - Unusually warm surface water temperatures in the Pacific ocean caused by weak or reversed direction trade winds. La Niña - Unusually.

Natural Variations in Climate. 1. El Nino and La Nina Natural changes in climate due to warmer or cooler than normal surface water in the eastern Pacific.

Sea Surface Temperature

Pacific Basin Sea Surface Temperature Sea surface temp is higher on the western side of the basin. Sea surface height is also greater. 80 degrees F 60 – 70 degrees F (above image from NOAA Climate Prediction Center )
