4.1 MILLION PACIFIC ISLANDERS AT RISK OF DISEASE FROM FLOODS, DROUGHT


HurricanePam (1) El Niño, which occurs when Pacific trade winds die out and ocean temperatures become unusually warm, is the warm phase of an oscillation called the El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO).

Named by fisherman off the coast of South America, El Niño, or “the little one” in Spanish, originates in the tropical Pacific ocean-atmosphere system, and affects weather pattern variability all over the world, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
