Sea surface temperature anomaly map, December 8, 1997. (From Fleet Numerical Meteorology and Oceanography Center, 1998). Precipitation anomalies estimated to be within the driest or wettest 10% of climatological occurrence between November 1997 and January 1998 have been plotted on the map. (Modified from Climate Prediction Center, 1998.) Regions affected by El Niño weather that are discussed in this paper are marked by arrows connected to the text boxes. The temperature scale is in degrees Celsius. Mission durations are: NASA 5 from May to September 1997; NASA 6 from September 1997 to January 1998; and NASA 7 from January 1998 to June 1998.
