Coriolis. There are timescales set up by two big mechanisms: one is westward-propagating oceanic Rossby [0] waves just to the north and south of the equator and the other is eastward-propagating Kelvin [1] waves along the equator which hit the Peruvian coast, split in two and flow north and south bouncing along the coast. Sloshing back and forth. [0] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rossby_wave [1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelvin_wave |
