The Southern Oscillation Index (SOI), equatorial zonal wind, sea level anomalies at islands, sea surface temperature at Puerto Chicama Peru and mixed layer temperature and depth from the XBT ship of opportunity network are used to describe conditions during the past two ENSO episodes. Onset of sustained ENSO anomalies in the 1986/87 episode was in July 1986, one month later in the year onset of the 1982/83 episode in June 1982. Both episodes of the 1980's the usual surface temperature difference along the equator between 165°W and 160°E reversed and rapidly increased to 1°C in the order direction. ENSO warming of the central Pacific tends to be confined to the region 10°N-10°S whereas cooling of the western Pacific occurs in a broader region from 19°N-19°S, and extents westward into the eastern Indian Ocean. Evaluation of terms in the surface heat budget (for 1982/83 episode only) shows that the dominant mechanism of cooling surface temperature in the western Pacific is latent heat flux.
