Satellite remotely-sensed sea surface temperature (SST) and surface chlorophyll were used to estimate median phytoplankton cell size at monthly and 11 km resolution over the global ocean, 1998–2007. The temporal dynamics of median phytoplankton cell size were examined for the Pacific equatorial upwelling region and the subtropical oceans. For the equatorial upwelling region, cell size varied co...

27 We investigate the interannual variability over 2003-2007 of different hydrological parameters in 28 the Amazon river basin: vertically-integrated water storage from the GRACE space gravimetry 29 mission, surface water level over the Amazon River and its tributaries from in situ gauges, and 30 precipitation. We analyze the spatio-temporal evolution of total water storage from GRACE and 31 in...

Abstract Half of the world's population makes rice a crop focus because it has many opportunities in future. However, there are disruptors for development 2020, which climate variability and COVID-19 Pandemics. El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is that can threaten price dynamics. Besides that, also implications The objectives this paper are: (1) to empirically study impact on dynamics (2) an...

studies of rainfall variation generally focus on large areas. for example, in india, the area average monsoon rainfall series of the whole country or meteorological subdivisions are used. this would be of no use for local agriculture, particularly in places where rainfall is very high or very low, especially for crops like small cardamom and vanilla which are very sensitive to soil moisture and...

The impacts of ENSO and North American climate modes on seasonal snowfall in the Mid-Atlantic region are investigated. Particular emphasis is placed on the convergent patterns of El Nino and negative NAO during Northern Hemisphere winter. This study is motivated by the highly anomalous events associated with the 2009-2010 winter season, as well as by a general interest in mid-latitude synoptic ...

During the winter of 2015, there was a strong El Nino (ENSO) event, resulting in significant anomalies for meteorological conditions in China. Analysis shows that the meteorological conditions in December 2015 (compared to December 2014) had several important anomalies, including the following: (1) the surface southeasterly winds were significantly enhanced in the North China Plain (NCP); (2) t...
