El Nino southern oscillation: mitigating measures
Material type:
TextLanguage: English Publication details: Los Banos: PCARRD, c2001Edition: First editionDescription: ix, 296 pages: illustration, figures, tablesISBN: 09712004775Subject(s): El Nino Southern Oscillation -- 2001 -- Los Baños | MeteorologyDDC classification: 551.476 P552 2001 Abstract: Heavy floods, extreme droughts, hazardous forest fires and snowstorms brought about by extreme weather conditions used to amaze scientists. However, with the identification of the events as El Nino and La Nina or the El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), scientists are now more able to explain the phenomenon. Information on ENSO is important to be able to prepare for its damaging effects to human life, infrastructure and livelihood. Understanding the phenomenon is a great first step in preventing tremendous losses to social and economic structures of societies. While the Philippines may be hardly hit, the effects of ENSO are felt worldwide. The agriculture and fisheries sectors are the foremost sectors affected by the adverse effects of ENSO. This publication, El Nino Oscillation: Mitigating Measures, provides good insights on mitigating the effects of El Nino and La Nina. Technologies discussed may be applied to the agriculture, livestock, forestry and the fisheries sectors as precautionary measures, mostly to withstand the impending socioeconomic difficulties. In the new millenium, through information as published in this publication, we will understand the ENSO phenomenon more and more primed for its consequences.
