From the Paper:
"One of the most fascinating and far-reaching weather phenomena to occur in recent years has been that of El Nino. This paper will briefly describe what this phenomenon is, and specifically discuss the 1982-1983 El Nino which caused extreme changes in the Earth's oceans and atmosphere and often widespread devastation on land."El Nino is Spanish for "The Child," a reference to the Christ child, so named by South Americans because this ocean current is felt off their coast around Christmastime. According to Dr. Eugene Rasmussen of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, it occurs in cycles of about every four to five years and can be two years apart or as many as 10. The last El Nino occurred in 1976-1977 when the eastern United States had its worst winter and California its worst drought (Canby 153)."
