Collin: Education! It's so great! So much great knowledge!
In fact, the "boy" in the name El Niño refers to baby Jesus, as the phenomenon was first reported around Christmastime by Peruvian fisherman in the late 1800s.
La Niña, El Niño's counterpart, (associated with colder-than-normal sea surface levels rather than warmer-than-normal ones) was discovered and named as recently as 1985.
ENSO, (El Niño-Southern Ocillation [sic]), while called simply "El Niño" in popular usage, actually refers to not only the El Niño-La Niña cycle, but also the cycle of Southern Ocillation, [sic] an ocillation [sic] in air pressure between the tropical Eastern & the Western Pacific Ocean waters.
Low atmospheric pressure tends to occur over warm and high pressure occurs over cold water, in part because deep convection over the warm water acts to transport air.
Also, Comrade Helicopter is the coolest band name ever.
NOTES:
Still misspelled "oscillation." In case anyone doesn't get it, the implication here is that the parallel universe from before, almost exactly one year ahead of "our" timeline. Remember, the first Sunday strip I drew was the night Adam drew his "Comrade Helicopter." How will this revelation fit into the future? We shall see (maybe.) Probably not though.
