For reasons not completely understood, in some years the anti-cyclone is less powerful than normal. The weaker winds it produces fail to draw cold waters up to the ocean’s surface, thus opening the way for warm, nutrient-poor tropical waters. These changes in water temperature and climatic conditions are known as “El Nino”.
