RISFrom El Niño to La Niña: Vegetation Response Patterns over East and Southern Africa during the 1997–2000 Period
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During the period 1997?2000, the global climate system experienced a transition from the strongest ENSO warm event this century in 1997/98 to a strong cold event in 1999/2000. Normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) ...
Fossil Fuel and Biomass Burning Effect on Climate—Heating or Cooling?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Emission from burning of fossil fuels and biomass (associated with deforestation) generates a radiative forcing on the atmosphere and a possible climate chaw. Emitted trace gases heat the atmosphere through their greenhouse ...
