● During the El Niño phase which region of the ocean has the highest

temperature anomaly? The warmest temperature before the average is


added, just from the anomaly map.

The eastern Pacific Ocean has the highest temperature anomaly.

● How much warmer than normal is this region during the El Niño
phase?

The eastern Pacific Ocean region can be 0.5 C warmer than normal in this
region during the El Niño phase.

● How much cooler is the Pacific Ocean at 160° W during La Niña than
during El Niño?

Pacific Ocean at 160° W during La Niña is -0.75C to -0.5 C cooler than


during El Niño

● Does El Niño or La Niña affect a larger area? Describe the regions that
have higher and lower temperatures during a La Niña.

Yes, El Niño or La Niña does affect a larger area. The weather has the
biggest effect and causes a jet stream. A region that has lower temperatures
during a La Nina is the west US and Southern Atlantic ocean, and the
eastern US, east Australia have higher temperatures.

Given that there are better fishing conditions when there are cool
upwelling currents off of the South American coast, describe fishing
conditions during an El Niño and a La Niña.
El Nino is not upwelling so therefore no fishing, and Na Nino is excess
upwelling, so it would be overfishing.
