Landholders have long used weather and climate information, based on experience and intuition, for planning and decision making on land or crop management. Over recent times, the availability of data bases of historical climatic information and the development of predictive tools ranging from correlation analysis to computer simulation models have made the climatic information useful to a much ...

A connection between El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and weather phenomena in eastern Australia has been recognized for several decades. However, little work has been devoted to addressing how this correlation affects hydrological system behaviour within regional-scale catchments. In this study, spatially distributed ENSO effects are evaluated in terms of monthly rainfall, evaporation, stre...

Trabajo la relación entre autonomía moral (AM) y personal (AP), aquí con foco en Ética Derechos Humanos de Carlos Nino. Reconstruyo primero su comprensión, luego evalúo críticamente. Para él segunda es una subclase primera: AM referiría a todos los deberes morales, AP sólo autorreferentes. A vez entiende que un presupuesto ineludible del discurso mientras principio moralidad social. Pero entonc...

Rather than being strictly random events, it has been proven that all La Ninas and El Ninos are caused by the increase or decrease of reflective SO2 aerosols in Earth’s atmosphere, from both volcanic eruptions industrial activity. Although an eruption usually signifies a forthcoming Nina/El Nino cycle, thus can have some predictive value.

A coupled ocean-atmosphere data assimilation procedure yields improved forecasts of El Niño for the 1980s compared with previous forecasting procedures. As in earlier forecasts with the same model, no oceanic data were used, and only wind information was assimilated. The improvement is attributed to the explicit consideration of air-sea interaction in the initialization. These results suggest t...

Daily rainfall data for the winter season October–December for the long period of 102 years 1901–2002 over southeast peninsular India have been used to study the characteristics of daily precipitation extremes. The frequency and intensity of extreme precipitation events do not show statistically significant long-term trend. The relationship of El Nino-southern oscillation index with these extre...
