意味（1）

An exceptionally large form of the El Niño invasion of warm water into the surface of the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Peru and Ecuador every four to seven years that causes changes in local and regional climate.

Grodzicki describes the event as even greater than the one that struck Peru in 1983 with which he was familiar. This Super Niño could be the same one documented by Elera and Pinilla (1992) for the Salinar occupation at Puémape on the north coast, […] Grodzicki (1990:93) calculates that the event caused 4,200 millimeters of rain to fall within a few days.
