Fig. 7.12: Temperature and pressure anomalies during 1982-83 El Nino event: a sea
surface temperature (SST) anomaly pattern at Puerto Chicama (7.7°S, 79.3°W) for
the 82-83 event and for canonical event, b sea-level pressure at Tahiti and Darwin
during event. The difference between pressure at Tahiti (solid line) and pressure at
Darwin (dashed line) is equal to SOl (adapted from Rasmusson and Wallace, 1984)
