  abstract = {{E}l {N}ino events, in particular the eastern {P}acific type, have a tremendous impact on the marine ecosystem and climate conditions in the eastern {S}outh {P}acific. {D}uring such events, the accumulation of anomalously warm waters along the coast favors intense rainfall. {T}he upwelling of nutrient-replete waters is stopped and the marine ecosystem is strongly impacted. {T}hese events are generally associated with positive surface temperature anomalies in the central and eastern equatorial {P}acific. {D}uring austral summer 2017, a strong surface temperature anomaly reaching similar to 3-4 degrees {C} off {N}orthern {P}eru and {E}cuador led to intense coastal precipitations. {H}owever, neutral temperature anomalies were recorded in the equatorial {P}acific. {U}sing in situ measurements, satellite observations, and simulations from an eddy-resolving regional ocean circulation model, we investigated the physical processes triggering this peculiar 'coastal {E}l {N}ino.' {I}ts impact on the regional ocean circulation and heat budget off northern {P}eru and {E}cuador was assessed. {U}sing model sensitivity experiments, we investigated the respective roles of the equatorial {K}elvin waves and local wind anomalies in driving the anomalously high nearshore sea surface temperature ({SST}). {T}he atmospheric teleconnections which triggered the event were investigated using reanalysis data.},
