Satellite infrared temperature images illustrate several effects of the 1982-1983 El Niño: warm sea-surface temperatures with the greatest anomalies near the coast, weakened coastal upwelling, and changes in surface circulation patterns. Phytoplankton pigment images from the Coastal Zone Color Scanner indicate reduced productivity during El Niño, apparently related to the weakened coastal upwelling The satellite images provide direct evidence of mesoscale changes associated with the oceanwide El Niño event.
卫星红外温度图像说明了 1982-1983 年厄尔尼诺现象的几个影响：靠近海岸的海面温度异常温暖，沿海上升流减弱，以及表面环流模式的变化。来自沿海带色扫描仪的浮游植物色素图像表明，厄尔尼诺期间生产力下降，这显然与沿海上升流减弱有关。卫星图像提供了与全球厄尔尼诺事件相关的中尺度变化的直接证据。
