Then, explain the overall physical impact that this change will have on coastal communities.The weather condition known as El Ni¤o is described on page 677 of your book. After reading this section, describe the major interactions between the atmosphere and the surface ocean water in the equatorial Pacific Ocean under ?normal? conditions. Next, describe the changes that occur in both the atmosphere and the underlying ocean during an El Ni¤o event. (Note: Be sure to include the changes of atmospheric convection, warm surface ocean water, and the cold deep ocean water in your description. List a specific region that is impacted negatively by an El Ni¤o event.)
