El Niño: El Niño: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que el nombre "El Niño", que se aplica a un fenómeno climático que causa desastres en la costa americana del océano Pacífico, se escribe con mayúsculas iniciales y no necesita cursiva ni comillas. [...] El nombre español de "El Niño" está fijado convencionalmente para su uso internacional, y a diferencia de otros fenómenos atmosféricos como los huracanes incluye el artículo, por lo que este se escribe con mayúscula y no se contrae con las preposiciones a y de; por otra parte, la palabra fenómeno se escribe en minúscula, pues no es parte de su denominación, sino que tiene función meramente descriptiva.

The goal of the GLOBEC Small Pelagic Fish and Climate Change (SPACC) programme is to understand and ultimately predict climate-induced changes in the fish production of marine ecosystems. In addition to having broad economic importance, this goal is especially pertinent today because of the accumulation of greenhouse gases that will force changes in ocean climate over the next hundred years. 1, record 4, English, - Small%20Pelagic%20Fish%20and%20Climate%20Change
