What is an El
Niño?
El Niño was originally recognized by fisherman off the coast of South America as the appearance of unusually warm water in the Pacific ocean, occurring near the beginning of the year. El Niño means The Little One in Spanish. This name was used for the tendency of the phenomenon to arrive around Christmas. There has been a confusing range of uses for the terms El Niño, La Niña and ENSO by both the scientific community and the general public, which is clarified in this web page on definitions of the terms ENSO, Southern Oscillation Index, El Nino and La Nina.

Investigaciones MarinasThe National Center for Agriculture and Marine Investigations in Ecuador covers many aspects of El Niño impacts. In Spanish.
