Scope note: El Niño-oscilación meridional o ENSO (del inglés El Nino-Southern Oscillation) es un ciclo de fenómenos alternantes extremos de calor, El Niño, y de frío, La Niña, que constituyen el patrón dominante del clima, año tras año, en la tierra. Ambos términos se refieren a los cambios a gran escala en la temperatura de la superficie del mar en el área del Pacífico oriental tropical. El ENSO se asocia con un mayor riesgo de determinadas enfermedades transmitidas por vectores. (Traducción libre del original: http://www.elnino.noaa.gov/lanina_new_faq.html, consultado el 12/05/2010)

Scope note: El Nino-Southern Oscillation or ENSO is a cycle of extreme alternating warm El Niño and cold La Nina events which is the dominant year-to-year climate pattern on Earth. Both terms refer to large-scale changes in sea-surface temperature across the eastern tropical Pacific. ENSO is associated with a heightened risk of certain vector-borne diseases.
