RC: “Authors didn’t mention about the aerosol-retrieval uncertainties over the land, especially during large-scale fire events” AC: This has been mentioned in other papers we have cited and already performed over this region (Cohen, 2014; Cohen et al., 2017). However, for clarity the values will be added into this paper. There are two issues, the first with cloud cover, in which a bias may exis...

The main driver for the large research effort devoted to developing and improving seasonal climate prediction models is the fact that El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events (quasiperiodic fluctuations in Indo-Pacific Ocean sea surface temperatures and mean sea level pressure) represent, on a global scale, the greatest source of interannual climate variability and are, to some extent, predic...

The El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon, originating in the Tropical Pacific, is the strongest natural interannual climate signal and has widespread effects on the global climate system and the ecology of the Tropical Pacific. Any strong change in ENSO statistics will therefore have serious climatic and ecological consequences. Most global climate models do simulate ENSO, although la...

The source of irregularity in El Niño, the large interannual climate variation of the Pacific ocean-atmosphere system, has remained elusive. Results from an El Niño model exhibit transition to chaos through a series of frequency-locked steps created by nonlinear resonance with the Earth's annual cycle. The overlapping of these resonances leads to the chaotic behavior. This transition scenario e...

High resolution pollen analysis of mid- to late-Holocene peat deposits from southwest Florida reveals a stepwise increase in wetland vegetation that points to an increased precipitation-driven fresh water flow during the past 5,000 years. The tight coupling between winter precipitation patterns in Florida and the strength of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) strongly suggests that the pal...

Abstract El Nino is one of the natural phenomena that have a significant influence on weather, causing longer dry season in several regions Indonesia, which city Lampung. One way to anticipate long drought predict rainfall, by looking at intensity rain. This paper proposes rainfall prediction using recurrent neural network. Weather variables used include air humidity, wind speed obtained from B...

Ongoing cti sruption of ancient , varnished desert pave ment surfaces ncar Death Valley Nat ional Park is inferred to be the result of unusually intense animal foraging activity. lncreased levels of biotllrbation are associated with enhanced vegetation growth stimulated by recen t EI Nino precipitation. The occurrence of abundant, recen tly overturned, varnished clasts suggests that the pavemen...
