\subsection{Yes, and...}   So, a large scale redistribution of temperature causes shifts in the location of some major processes,  and triggers complex response mechanisms that interact with local environments, to create conditions that  would not commonly be observed in that area otherwise. And since the whole thing is tied up in the butterfly  effect these conditions are neither perfectly reproducible, nor predictable, nor even fully comprehensible.  Thanks \href{https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-mpifTiPV4}{Dr. Ian Malcolm}, it's much clearer   now. But how do you pull a sense of what to expect from an El Ni\~{n}o out of all this? As  said, there is an understanding of relevant mechanisms which, given certain conditions, generally function in  discernible ways. But in practice much of the conception of a typical El Ni\~{n}o is based on historical  observation \cite{Dilley_2000}. "What was it like the last time? What is it typically like?"
