In case the video map doesn't work its ElNino in case study downloads.
This is a Station Model map that shows the water vapor in the air covering the Pacific American Coast. It is very interesting because it shows the progression of the weather system we call El Nino in the Pacific throughout the year. As you can see in the beginning of the video, water vapor is extremely thick and covers down to almost Peru and as the year progresses the vapor slowly progresses away from the coast and northernly in the summer months. This weather system happens every other year as water vapor condensation amasses off the coast of Peru in addition to upwelling currents that spur algae blooms. These blooms provide fish the necessary nutrients they need to grow and thrive and is a major part of what runs our oceans.
