Abstract

The effects of ENSO 1997-1998 off the southwest coast of Mexico are evaluated, by comparing sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies from satellite observation over a 4-year period, from 1996 to 1999. We find an increment of sea surface temperatures of 3° to 5° C during ENSO, and an inhibition of the upwelling event off Cabo Corrientes.
