El-Niņo Conditions
Normal Ocean Conditions
The air is also very humid due to its long passage over the tropical ocean, and when it rises in the west, heavy precipitation is produced over Indonesia, leaving the east Pacific relatively dry.
Beginning of an El-Niņo Event
Y:e
The weakening of easterly tradewinds during an El-Niņo/Southern Oscillation event is evident in these figures as well. Rainfall follows the warm water eastward, with associated flooding in Peru and drought in Indonesia and Australia. The eastward displacement of the atmosphere overlaying the warmest water results in large changes in the global atmospheric circulation, which in turn force changes in weather in regions far removed from the El-Niņo waters of the tropical Pacific.
