چکیده
In 2015, Earth experienced the start of a strong El Niño event. El Niño events are natural fluctuations of the climate system where unusually warm water accumulates in the equatorial Pacific Ocean. El Niño events are associated with abnormal weather patterns such as strong storms in some places and droughts or flooding in others. A typical El Niño event lasts 9 months to 2 years. This phenomenon is witnessed roughly every 2–7 years, although such a significant El Niño event had not occurred for the past 18 years.

A Strategy for Process-Oriented Validation of Coupled Chemistry– Climate Models
1117 AUGUST 2005 AMERICAN METEOROLOGICAL SOCIETY | he decreasing levels of halogens in the stratosphere should lead to a gradual recovery from the chemical ozone depletion that has occurred over the past decades (WMO 2003). However, climate change resulting from increases in greenhouse gas concentrations will infl uence the stratosphere through a range of radiative, dynamical, and chemical mech...
متن کاملCalibration of the Total Carbon Column Observing Network using aircraft profile data
The Total Carbon Column Observing Network (TCCON) produces precise measurements of the column average dry-air mole fractions of CO2, CO, CH4, N2O and H2O at a variety of sites worldwide. These observations rely on spectroscopic parameters that are not known with sufficient accuracy to compute total columns that can be used in combination with in situ measurements. The TCCON must therefore be ca...
متن کاملAir quality and chronic disease: why action on climate change is also good for health.
There is increasing evidence that air pollution contributes to the burden of chronic disease and premature mortality, particularly from cardiovascular and respiratory causes. Action now urgently required to mitigate climate change has the potential co-benefit of improving air quality and reducing the chronic disease burden. Fossil fuel combustion, primarily from motor vehicles and energy genera...
متن کاملModelling of Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Wheat Production in Irrigated and Rain-Fed Systems in Khorasan Razavi Province, Iran
Agriculture has a key role in greenhouse gas emissions. As such, the present study aimed to evaluate the greenhouse gas emissions from wheat production in irrigated and rain-fed systems. The primary data were collected from 116 wheat farmers. The results showed that the total greenhouse gas emissions from wheat production in irrigated and rain-fed systems were 637.8 and 65.12 kgCO2eq, respecti...
متن کاملGreenhouse gas emissions in Canada and Japan: sector-specific estimates and managerial and economic implications.
Many firms generate large amounts of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases when they burn fossil fuels in their production processes. In addition, production of raw materials and other inputs the firms procure for their operations also generates greenhouse gases indirectly. These direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions occur in many sectors of our economies. In this paper, we first pre...
