  1. During the El Niño phase which region of the ocean has the highest temperature anomaly? The warmest temperature before the average is added, just from the anomaly map.
  2. How much warmer than normal is this region during the El Niño phase?
  3. How much cooler is the Pacific Ocean at 160° W during La Niña than during El Niño?
  4. Does El Niño or La Niña affect a larger area? Describe the regions that have higher and lower temperatures during a La Niña.
  5. Given that there are better fishing conditions when there are cool upwelling currents off of the South American coast, describe fishing conditions during an El Niño and a La Niña.
