How is the El Nino phenomenon connected with the Southern Oscillation?
Solution -
The southern oscillation is atmospheric component of El nino. This component is an oscillation in surface air pressure between the tropical eastern and western Pacific Ocean.An important feature connected with the Southern Oscillation (SO) is the El Nino.
