El Nino
El Nino appears in Missing Peace: Will Israel Imperil Iran Deal? as a recurring Pacific climate pattern that begins when equatorial winds shift warm surface water and disrupt global climate patterns. The episode explains its strength through Pacific surface-temperature anomalies relative to historical averages.
The source says models suggest the event under discussion could rival or exceed the major 1982-83 and 2015-16 El Nino events. Its importance for the wiki is not just meteorological description, but the downstream El Nino Climate Risk created when a strong event arrives on top of global warming and existing food insecurity.
