Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I have chosen this article because it is a climatic and oceanographic phenomenon which readily relates to the course content on marine microbiology. Additionally, it was something I was interested in learning a little more about.

Evaluate the article
Lead section: The lead section did a good job of explaining the phenomenon along with why it is important. However, at least to me, it felt components of this section read weirdly.

In the France section, I was surprised to see so much analysis on deaths related to this phenomenon. It felt out of place as this was not mentioned in the lead section. Again, the writing is strange for this section. Some sentences are not complete or have strange grammatical structure. I feel that this section is useful, however I don't think it needs to be the so high up in the article.

The Europe section felt more complete. It effectively spoke of the climatic impacts specific to Europe and gave the names (and links) to the relevant Mesoscale phenomena.

Tone and Balance: It is more obvious in this article than in other articles I have read that this page has multiple authors. There are differences in grammatical usage, tone, and even moments where strange fonts are used. This can at times be distracting. Tone is neutral throughout.

Images and Media: This page includes some pictures and graphs, additional photos could provide additional clarity.

Talk page discussion: there is a to-do item for this page relating to correction links to disambiguation pages.

Overview: I think this article does its job relatively well. I do believe that some of the grammatical use is distracting however some re-wording of the second paragraph could help. In particular, I really liked how this article discussed various impacts of ENSO (Weather, Ecological, etc.). This article has many links to other climatic phenomena and a substantial number of references.
