El Niño
Historical and Paleoclimatic Aspects of the Southern Oscillation
Av Henry F. Diaz, Vera Markgraf
Häftad, 2009
895 kr
Lägg i varukorg
The El Nino/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon is a recurrent feature of the climate in tropical regions. A primary example of large scale coupled ocean-atmosphere interactions, ENSO has received much attention in past years, as a result of widespread climatic anomalies (severe drought and …
