Moored current meter, sea level, hydrographic, and surface drifter measurements show the large changes that took place in the eastern tropical Pacific during the onset of the warm episode of 1982. In August the near-surface flow at 0 degrees , 110 degrees W reversed direction to eastward. By October the sea surface temperature in the equatorial zone increased by 5 degrees Celsius above the long-term monthly mean value, sea level rose by 22 centimeters at the Galápagos Islands, and the thermocline was displaced downward by 50 to 70 meters along the equator and the South American coast.
系泊海流计、海平面、水文和海面漂流器测量显示，在 1982 年暖期开始时，东热带太平洋发生了巨大变化。8 月，在 110 度 W 的 0 度附近的近表面流方向反转到东向。到 10 月，赤道区的海面温度比长期月平均值升高了 5 摄氏度，加拉帕戈斯群岛的海平面上升了 22 厘米，温跃层沿着赤道和南美洲海岸向下移动了 50 到 70 米。
