Title : 10 Dec 97-El Nino
Caption :
10 Dec 97 - By December 10, the volume and area of the warm water pool had increased again after reaching a temporary low. Oceanographers said that increases and decreases in the size of the warm water pool were part of El Niño's natural rhythm. The warm pool was occasionally pumped up by wind bursts blowing from the western and central Pacific; each wind burst triggered a temporary increase in area and volume of the warm pool.
