It's related to the shift in the trade-winds related to El Nino. Trade-winds normally blow the water toward Australia, which upwells cooler waters near Peru. The height of the ocean tilts higher toward Australia. During strong El Ninos, the water swashes back toward South America and ocean levels drastically drop in western tropical Pacific. When sea-levels drop and sea life dies and rots, the islanders call this 'taimasa'. Circle of life, eh? It's nice to see peer-reviewed articles talk about it instead of blaming CO2 for everything.
