1982–83 El Niño event, Meteorological progression
Due to a variety of reasons, ranging from the lack of knowledge among the general public regarding El Niño events to the fact that a volcanic eruption in Mexico from El Chichón distracted many scientists from noticing the telltale signs, this event escaped the notice of the scientific world until 1983. As pointed out by Walter Sullivan, signs began to appear in early 1982, when a noticeable and measurable drop in atmospheric pressure was noted in the central and southeastern Pacific compared to pressures found off the coast of Darwin, Australia.


1982–83 El Niño event, Meteorological progression
As the year progressed, more and more signs pointed towards an upcoming powerful El Niño event; from the collapse and subsequent reversal of the trade easterlies that traditionally prevent upwelling from occurring in the Western Pacific to the various atmospheric signatures that can all be associated with the El Niño-Southern Oscillation, these indicators all pointed to the fact that one of the most powerful El Niño events of the 20th century had begun.


1982–83 El Niño event, Effects on tropical cyclone development
As a result of the event, the 1982 Atlantic hurricane season and 1983 Atlantic hurricane season both saw a reduced number of storms and a decrease in their average strength. Over this two-year period, the most notable storm that formed over this period was Hurricane Alicia, a minimal Category 3 storm that made landfall in Texas, causing US$3 billion dollars worth in damages. The rest of the storms that formed during these two seasons were relatively unremarkable; over the two seasons, there were only 10 named storms, 5 hurricanes, and two major hurricanes.


1982–83 El Niño event, Effects on tropical cyclone development
One can expect to equal or even beat these numbers in a single season, as the tropical Atlantic typically churns out 10 named storms, 5 to 6 hurricanes, and 2 to 3 major hurricanes in a single year. Despite Hurricane Debby in 1982 reaching Category 4 strength, it never made landfall.


1982–83 El Niño event, Effects on tropical cyclone development
In contrast, the 1982 Pacific hurricane season and the 1983 Pacific hurricane season were both unusually active. The 1982 season ranks as the 4th-most active season alongside 2018, while the 1983 season was the longest Pacific hurricane season recorded at the time (it was later surpassed by the 2015 and 2016 seasons). Notable storms include the aforementioned Hurricane Iwa, Hurricane Paul, and Hurricane Tico.


1982–83 El Niño event, Effects on tropical cyclone development
Despite expectations of diminished tropical cyclone activity, the western Pacific typhoon seasons of 1982 and 1983 were hardly affected by the ongoing El Niño event.


1982–83 El Niño event, Impacts
The 1982–83 El Niño event changed the normal location of cold and warm waters around the Galápagos Islands, killing many of the macroalgae at the base of the food chain and increasing predation on the survivors by starving animals. One endemic species of cold water algae, Desmarestia tropica, is often held as being driven to extinction by this crisis, although it had not actually been observed by researchers since 1972. Two animal species, the Galápagos damselfish (which was considered "rare" before the event) and the 24-rayed sunstar, have not been seen since this El Niño event. Up in the food chain, the crisis led to declines of 77% among Galápagos penguins, 49% among flightless cormorants, and 25% among adult Peruvian sea lions and fur seals, plus the loss of the entire pup population in the latter two.


1982–83 El Niño event, Impacts
In Ecuador, heavy rainfall and flooding led to high fish and shrimp harvests; however, the large amounts of standing water also allowed mosquito populations to thrive, leading to large outbreaks of malaria. In just this country alone, the economic impact from this event in regards to damages caused by this flooding were estimated at over US$400 million.


1982–83 El Niño event, Impacts
Warm water to the south of the Hawaiian Islands around November allowed a late tropical disturbance to develop into Hurricane Iwa, which became the sixth wettest tropical cyclone ever recorded in Hawaii, and the costliest up to that point, causing damage totaling $312 million (1982 USD, $837 million 2021 USD) and leaving 500 Hawaiians homeless. The last female Kauaʻi ʻōʻō bird was lost in the storm; her mate was recorded singing in solitary until he went silent and presumably died in 1987, marking the extinction of their species.


1982–83 El Niño event, Impacts
In Indonesia and Australia, one of the worst droughts ever occurred as a result of this event. The cooler waters led to the formation of less convection in the region, and less rainfall as a result. The damages from crop failure and loss of livestock easily surpassed US$100 million.


1982–83 El Niño event, Impacts
North America and Eurasia also faced unusually warm temperatures as a result of this event. The eastern United States in particular saw the warmest winter in roughly 25 years. Other side-effects, such as an uptick in mosquitoes, a loss in salmon off the coast of Alaska and Canada, and an increase in shark attacks off the western United States coast can all also be at least partially blamed upon this event. Several temperature records across both landmasses were broken as a result.

1982–83 FDGB-Pokal, Final, Match report
Magdeburg and Karl-Marx-Stadt met after a disappointing season, finishing 6th and 9th in the league respectively, leading to some calling this final unattractive and unpopular. In the event, Magdeburg performed on par with their league play as well as Karl-Marx-Stadt, but Magdeburg's players were able to frustrate their opposition's desire to always have Magdeburg's players covered, leading to a number of yellow cards and several free-kicks, one of which led to Wittke's goal to make it 2-0 to Magdeburg.


1982–83 FDGB-Pokal, Final, Match report

Especially Karl-Marx-Stadt's defense had enormous problems to cope with Magdeburg's attacking play, whereas Magdeburg defenders Raugust, Mewes and Schößler along with their sweeper Stahmann had little to nothing to do. Stahmann even found the time to set up Streich's second goal with a 40-meter-pass. The fourth goal only helped to mark the superiority of Magdeburg's team on this day, after Halata and Cebulla had already wasted several opportunities. In the end, Magdeburg won a final that they had easily dominated, winning their 7th FDGB-Pokal title.

1982–83 FIS Alpine Ski World Cup
A major change in the World Cup series this year was the introduction of a new race, considered to be a combination of downhill and giant slalom, which was named "Super G". Because there were only five Super G races held during the season (three men's events and two ladies' events), the races were classified with the Giant Slalom discipline for the season awards (as well as for the next two seasons). Another major change was made to remove the World Cup/Olympics overlap. The FIS decided not to hold the 1984 World Championships at the 1984 Olympics but instead to move the biennial event to odd-numbered years, starting with 1985. Thus, this was the final odd-numbered year without scheduled World Championships.

With expanded student seating, the Vandals set basketball attendance records at the Kibbie Dome with 11,000 against Washington State on December 4, and eight hundred more on February 12 against Montana for a conference record. The former was an overtime victory, the third straight over the Cougars in the Battle of the Palouse, on the same night that the resurgent Vandal football team narrowly lost a I-AA playoff game on the road, televised on cable by WTBS of Atlanta.


1982–83 Idaho Vandals men's basketball team
The latter with Montana was a deflating nineteen-point defeat to snap the 43-game home winning streak, begun over three years earlier in 1980. Idaho won its final three home games, but attendance fell; the highest was 8,000 for the finale against Boise State, Monson's hundredth and final win at the helm.

Several days after the NIT loss in Corvallis, Monson expectedly left his alma mater for the University of Oregon in Eugene; he led the Ducks for nine seasons in the Pac-10, with three NIT appearances. Assistant coach Barry Collier applied for the Idaho vacancy, but athletic Bill Belknap hired Bill Trumbo, a junior college head coach from northern California; the Vandals returned to the cellar of the conference in each of the next three seasons and attendance plummeted. In March 1986, Trumbo was succeeded by Tim Floyd, an assistant under hall of fame head coach Don Haskins at Texas-El Paso.

A four-year starter, Kellerman was first-team all-conference for three years (honorable mention as a freshman), and was the Big Sky player of the year as a sophomore, the second of three consecutive years in which that honor went to a Vandal guard. (From the Tri-Cities, Kellerman was the player of the year in Washington as high school senior in 1979, but was passed on by the Pac-10 schools.)


1982–83 Idaho Vandals men's basketball team, Aftermath

With Leicester only holding relegated Burnley to a 0-0 draw at home, it gave Fulham a chance to do so at Derby County but with only a win required. An incident involving a spectator and a Fulham player led to the game being abandoned 2 minutes away from the 90 minute mark with Fulham losing 1-0 at the Baseball Ground. An enquiry from the Football League was held for a few days and they decided eventually the result from the Derby-Fulham game would stand which meant the Foxes were promoted after 2 seasons in the second tier.
