摘要
Just under a year ago the El Niño of 1997-98 came to an end. By several measures it was the strongest ever documented. But why was this El Niño so strong? Attempts to provide an answer must grapple with a variety of possible contributory causes on timescales ranging from the seasonal to the centennial.
