研究了1984 - 1995年南加州近海地区大浪事件的发生率。众所周知的世界气候事件厄尔尼诺的重大影响，在本世纪头83年的早期研究中已被证明，被认为是最近十年的主要影响。虽然在过去20年中，总体波浪强度（以一年中所有观测的中位波高测量）在大部分地区有所下降，但大波事件的数量却大大增加。热带地区的平均海面温度异常与大浪事件的增加密切相关。
The incidence of major wave events is investigated for the Southern California offshore region for the period from 1984 to 1995. The significant influence of the world climate event popularly known as El Nino, which had been shown in an earlier study of the first 83 yr of the century, is seen to be a major influence in the recent decade. Although the overall wave intensity (as measured by the median wave height for all observations during a year) has decreased for the most part in the last 20 yr, the number of large wave events has been very much increased. An averaged sea surface temperature anomaly in the tropics is shown to be well correlated with the increases in large wave events.
