We study how agricultural loan portfolios in commercial banks serving agricultural producers are affected by inter-annual climate variability in the Southeast U.S. - a region strongly affected by the El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO). We use panel data for 473 agricultural banks from six ...
Severe El Niño events can be economically disruptive worldwide; those of 1982–83, 1997–98, and 2015–16 are regarded as the three strongest on record. The most devastating events have caused droughts in such areas as Africa, India, Southeast Asia, Australia, and the W Pacific, flooding...
During a La Niña year, winter temperatures are warmer than normal in the Southeast and cooler than normal in the Northwest. My Thoughts on EI Nino 2007 Don Anderson; February, 2007 Gathered from a wide spectrum of documents on the subject. Prepared primarily in response to requests from ...
In the United States, La Niña often features drier than normal conditions in the Southwest in late summer through the subsequent winter. Drier than normal conditions also typically occur in the Central Plains in the fall and in the Southeast in the winter. In contrast, the Pacific Northwest ...
But in the U.S. Gulf Coast and Southeast, these periods are wetter than usual and have increased flooding. El Nino has a significant impact on marine species off the Pacific coast as well. Under typical circumstances, upwelling delivers cold, nutrient-rich water from the depths to the top....
El Nino has reduced the number of hurricanes in the Atlantic. Effect of La Nina It causes heavy monsoons in Southeast Asia and India. It creates drought-like conditions in Peru and Ecuador. It brings cold, wet winters to Southeast Africa and rainy weather to Eastern Australia. It causes dry...
This study investigates summer high temperature extremes (HTEs) in southeast China and their linkage with the El Nino-Southem Oscillation (ENSO) and atmospheric circulations in the East Asian summer monsoon (EASM). An interdecadal change in HTEs associated with the abrupt shift of the ENSO monsoon...
Biodiversity State and Trends in Southeast Asia Lian P.Koh, ...Gopalasamy R.Clements, inEncyclopedia of Biodiversity (Second Edition), 2013 Glossary ENSO El Nino/La Nina-Southern Oscillation is a climate pattern that happens across the tropical Pacific Ocean in approximately 5-year intervals. It...
Oil palm crop yield is sensitive to heat and drought. Therefore, El Niño events affect oil palm production, resulting in price fluctuations of crude palm oil due to global supply shortage. This study developed a new Fresh Fruit Bunch Index (FFBI) mode
El Niño also affects precipitation in other areas, including Indonesia and northeastern South America, which tend toward drier-than-normal conditions. Temperatures in Australia and Southeast Asia run hotter than average. El Niño-caused drought can be widespread, affecting southern Africa, India, ...
