Rövid leírás:

This book assembles a stellar group of contributors to provide an in-depth perspective on a nationally high visibility and complex climate event: El Ni?o 1997-1998. It presents what happened in the United States where El Ni?o became a household word and a "climate event of the century" to scientists. The book is a "snapshot" of events during a 14-month period starting when El Ni?o developed in the spring of 1997 and ending by early summer 1998. Its particular focus is on information that appeared in the media and on the Internet -- two major sources, correct or not, during the event.

This book covers the time span from the first indications of El Ni?o (May 1997) until its reversal (June 1998). The focus is largely on the United States, where El Ni?o produced widespread changes in how the public perceives weather and in the accuracy of forecasts. Among the key issues it examines are how the news media interpreted and dramatized El Ni?o and the reaction both of the public and decision-makers (the latter based on interviews with agribusiness, utilities, water management agencies, etc.); the scientific issues emerging from the event; and the social and economic consequences of the event. Finally, it suggests what can and should be done when El Ni?o occurs in the future.

The title of this work reflects its focus on the media's coverage of the 'event' that was El Nino. Highlighting the 14 months when it became a nationally known news story, the book explores both meteorological topics (causes, forecasting, relation to global warming) and socioeconomic perspectives (storm damage, media hype, energy production and use). This is an accessible work that will appeal to students, professors, policy-makers, and weather enthusiasts.
