Description:During the winter of 1996-1997 and the spring of 1997, the sea surface temperatures in the Eastern and Central Pacific near the equator showed a significant warming with the onset of an El Niño event. Sea surface temperatures reached positive anomalies of 4-5 degrees Celsius near the Equator in the Eastern Pacific and 1-4 degrees Celsius in the Central Pacific. This warming and periods of westerly winds in the lower atmosphere along the equator apparently had an effect on the tropical cyclone activity in the Central Pacific.
