| Summary: | Explains the El Niño (so-called because it occurs at the same time Christmas is celebrated), an oceanic phenomenon of warm water and the effect it has on the weather. The program also covers the weather in all its aspects: how it is measured, the efforts to forecast it and its economic and human effects. The immensely complex physics, chemistry, and mathematics scientists use to study the atmospheric system contrast starkly with the paltry human efforts to cope with the effects of a system like El Niño. |
