Impacts of 2015-2016 El Niño event in the Bay of La Paz, Gulf of California: Surface temperature and wind variability

Key Points

• Surface temperature increased significantly during the 2015-2016 El Niño event, affecting local marine ecosystems.
• Wind variability showed notable patterns affected by the El Niño phenomenon, particularly in the Bay of La Paz.
• Analysis of ocean dynamics emphasizes the interplay between surface temperature and atmospheric conditions during the event.
• Findings indicate that climate change could exacerbate these effects, with implications for future marine conditions.
