El Niño and the Southern Oscillation: Multiscale Variability and Global and Regional Impacts - Hardcover
Synopsis
The El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon is a recurrent feature of the climate in tropical regions. In this volume leading experts summarize information gained over the past decade concerning diverse aspects of ENSO, which have led to marked improvements in our ability to forecast its development months or seasons in advance. This volume compares ENSO's modern morphology and variability with its recent historic and prehistoric behaviour. It expands and updates Diaz and Markgraf's earlier volume El Niño: Historical and Paleoclimatic Aspects of the Southern Oscillation (1992, Cambridge University Press). The volume will be of importance to a broad range of scientists in meteorology, oceanography, hydrology, geosciences, ecology, public health, emergency management response and mitigation, and decision-making. It will also be used as a supplementary textbook and reference source in graduate courses in environmental studies.

Review
'The editors express the hope that this book makes a contribution toward a broader understanding of the ENSO phenomenon, by providing an updated synthesis of some of the significant accomplishments toward this goal, and by highlighting some of the areas where gaps in our knowledge still exists. Their hopes have been realized.' Mark A. Cane, EOS
'... a useful book for the university library or climate scientist with a major interest in El Niño or long-term climate variability.' Grant Bigg, Weather
' ... an excellent reference and guide to those in research as well as policy areas.' Holocene
'... ideally suited to anyone interested in reviewing recent developments in knowledge of climate variability and the role of the El Niño phenomenon.' World Meteorological Organization Bulletin
'... a wealth of information in a well edited and readable way ...'. Andreas Hense, Meteorolische Zeitschrift
'This is an admirable publication and would be ideal for anyone who wishes to develop an excellent grounding in past, present and future ENSO activity.' Journal of Quaternary Science

Cloth. Condition: As New. First Edition. - 496 pages, illustrated, indexed, , The El Nino/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon is a recurrent feature of the climate in tropical regions. A primary example of large scale coupled ocean-atmosphere interactions, ENSO has received much attention in past years, as a result of widespread climatic anomalies (severe drought and floods, Indian monsoon failure, etc.) that are often associated with the development of such episodes. To enhance our understanding of the mechanisms involved in the low frequency behavior of ENSO and to help improve our ability to forecast the future behavior of this phenomenon, we have combined analysis of the modern aspects of ENSO morphology, modelling and variability with chapters dealing with its historical and prehistorical behavior. this volume examines different approaches to reconstructing ENSO based on a variety of proxy sources. It also illustrates how, in the past, the climatic manifestations associated with ENSO may have been different, in the frequency of occurrence as well as amplitude. This book will be of importance to all professional scientists and researchers in climatology, meteorology and the earth and environmental sciences, while graduate students in these disciplines will find the book a useful reference source. - new unused copy, may require extra postage depending on destination.
