\nEl Ni\u00f1o is characterized by the warming of the surface waters in the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean. This *replaces* the usual cold Peruvian current, not leads to the appearance of a cold current. Therefore, the statement “Appearance of cold current in East Pacific region” is incorrect.
\n<\/section>\n
\nEl Ni\u00f1o is a phenomenon of warm sea surface temperatures in the eastern equatorial Pacific. It is generally associated with weak monsoon in India and reduction in plankton production due to suppressed upwelling of nutrient-rich cold water.
\n<\/section>\n
\nEl Ni\u00f1o is part of the El Ni\u00f1o\u2013Southern Oscillation (ENSO) cycle. Its opposite phase, La Ni\u00f1a, is characterized by colder than average sea surface temperatures in the central and eastern tropical Pacific and is generally associated with a stronger monsoon in India.
