TL;DR: ERA-40 is a re-analysis of meteorological observations from September 1957 to August 2002 produced by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) in collaboration with many institutions as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Definition of El Niño.
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the meaning of the term "El Nino" and how it has changed in time is given, and it is suggested that an El Nino can be said to occur if 5-month running mean of sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies in the Nino 3.4 region (5°N-5°S, 120°-170°W) exceed 0.4°C for 6 months or more.

Journal ArticleDOI
The Changing Character of Precipitation
TL;DR: In this article, precipitation intensity, duration, frequency, and phase are as much of concern as total amounts, as these factors determine the disposition of precipitation once it hits the ground and how much runs off.
Journal ArticleDOI
Changes in precipitation with climate change
TL;DR: There is a direct influence of global warming on precipitation as mentioned in this paper, as the water holding capacity of air increases by about 7% per 1°C warming, which leads to increased water vapor in the atmosphere.
