El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is the Earth's strongest source of year-to-year climate variability, whose center of action, although being in the tropical Pacific, influences the global climate, impacting also security aspects. ENSO is commonly described as an irregular oscillation of the ...
More map space when Map layers is closed 3D data more visible by default By default, the shadow of the sun is now off. You can still turn it on, but this makes it easier to see the data on the globe when you aren't focused on shadows. Globe comes out of the shadows Copy and se...
Additionally, around the year 1500, there was a climactic shift in the Southern Oscillation index; that shift led to a dryer climate on Rapa Nui. “One argument is that changes in the environment had a negative impact. People see that there was a drought and said, ‘Well, the drought cau...
Based on our sample, we distinguish five clusters of climate variables: (climate- related) natural disasters, basic climate variability (BCV), advanced climate variability (ACV), freshwater availability, and El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO). We categorize each climate operationalization into a ...
This study investigates the interannual variability of rapid intensification (RI) magnitude of western North Pacific (WNP) tropical cyclones. There is a significant correlation between basin-averaged RI magnitude during July–November and the simultaneous Western Pacific (WP) teleconnection index from 1982...
paper on human and natural factors influencing global warming. The obvious conclusion was that humans are driving global warming. In particular, there’s no waysolar activity,volcanic activity, and the El Niño Southern Oscillation are causing the warming. (Also see:What is Causing Global Warming...
Aedes aegypti is the urban vector of dengue viruses worldwide. While climate influences the geographical distribution of this mosquito species, other factors also determine the suitability of the physical environment. Importantly, the close association of A. aegypti with humans and the domestic environme...
These ongoing studies spanning more than Pre-spillover Prevention of Emerging Zoonotic Diseases 399 6 years, have been sufficient to capture occurrences and effects of environ- mental drivers, such as El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO), which occurs at semi-predictable intervals of approximately ...
How is the conceptualization of climate services linked to their success? What key determinant is identified for the success of climate services? What knowledge gaps exist regarding the synthesis of climate service success? What guidance is provided for the development of climate services? What are ...
Lake Lugano (E 9° 0′ 56.35″ N 46° 0′ 23.77″, altitude 271 m) is a natural glacial lake situated at the southern fringe of the Central Alps, spanning the border between Switzerland and Italy (Fig. 1). The lake is divided by a causeway (built on a natural moraine) into two ...
