What is Climate variability and the global harvest : impacts of El Niño and other oscillations on agroecosystems about?

<p><P>The Earth's climate is constantly changing. Some of the changes are progressive, while others fluctuate at various time scales. The El Ni&ntilde;o-la Ni&ntilde;a cycle is one such fluctuation that recurs every few years and has far-reaching impacts. It generally appears at least once per decade, but this may vary with our changing climate. The exact frequency, sequence, duration and intensity of El Ni&ntilde;o's manifestations, as well as its effects and geographic distributions, are highly variable. The El Ni&ntilde;o-la Ni&ntilde;a cycle is particularly challenging to study due to its many interlinked phenomena that occur in various locations around the globe. These worldwide teleconnections are precisely what makes studying El Ni&ntilde;o-la Ni&ntilde;a so important.<P>Cynthia Rosenzweig and Daniel Hillel describe the current efforts to develop and apply a global-to-regional approach to climate-risk management. They explain how atmospheric and social scientists are cooperating with agricultural practitioners in various regions around the world to determine how farmers may benefit most from new climate predictions. Specifically, the emerging ability to predict the El Ni&nti
