The focus is largely on the United States, where El Niño 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 Niño 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 Niño occurs in the future.Oxford scholarship online.Climatic changesUnited StatesEl Nino CurrentUnited StatesClimateClimatic changes551.6Changnon Stanley A(Stanley Alcide)1754134Bell Gerald D1754135MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910817080603321El Nino, 1997-19984190324UNINA
