Diverses études ont révélé que la variabilité des précipitations en Éthiopie est étroitement liée à la fluctuation de la circulation atmosphérique générale appelée l'oscillation australe ou oscillation du Sud (OS), déclenchée par les anomalies liées à la température de la surface de la mer ou SST (Sea Surface Temperature) au cours des événements El Niño (SST chaude) et La Niña (SST froide). 3, record 1, French, - oscillation%20australe

L'expression «oscillation du Pacifique» est moins précise que les autres synonymes car il y a aussi une autre oscillation de moindre importance que celle qui a lieu dans le sud du Pacifique : l'oscillation nord-pacifique. Employée de façon absolue, l'expression «oscillation du Pacifique» désigne cependant généralement l'oscillation australe. 6, record 1, French, - oscillation%20australe
