On el nino, el viejo events and global warming in Malaysia

Temperature, pressure and rainfall anomalies caused by the 1982-83, the 1986-87, the 1991-92 ENSO events; the 1975 and 1988 El Viejo events in Malaysia are studied. The results of this study show that opposite anomalies in these three fields are recorded during the ENSO and the El Viejo events in Malaysia. Furthermore, inter annual variability plays as a significant role as ENSO events in Peninsular Malaysia. Increase of temperature observed during the 1988 El Viejo event should solely be attributed to global warming. (author)
