After an extended period of warm episode-like conditions in the western tropical Pacific, ENSO conditions began affecting the central and eastern tropical Pacific during September through November (SON) 1991. The increased convection in the regions of positive SST anomalies provided solid evidence of atmospheric-oceanic coupling, critical in ENSO development and sustenance. In the midlatitudes, the most pronounced climatic feature during SON 91 was the preponderance of above-normal land surface temperatures throughout much of the Northern Hemisphere. 11 refs., 24 figs., 1 tab.
