• El Nino phenomenon passed its peak: Meteorological Agency.
• The so-called El Nino phenomenon, which often causes abnormal weather on a global scale, is subsiding, the Meteorological Agency said Monday.
• "The El Nino phenomenon has passed its peak and is subsiding even though it will likely last until this coming spring," an agency official said.
• However, the official said it remains to be seen whether the current El Nino will have any impact on temperatures this coming summer because it cannot determine exactly when the phenomenon will come to an end.
• The phenomenon is characterized by a rise in surface temperatures of the eastern Pacific Ocean around the equator, which often causes abnormal weather throughout the world.
• Based on these changes, the Meteorological Agency has concluded that the El Nino has passed its peak. ...

• The seasonal variation of suicides is a well-documented phenomenon in the medical literature. ...
• Thus, explanations for the seasonal variation in the incidence of suicides have been sought for among meteorological, environmental, psychosocial and biological factors (Kevan 1980, Souetre et al. ...
• Meteorological factors and suicide seasonality.
• The suggestion of an association between meteorological factors and incidence of suicides dates back to the bioclimatic theory presented in the late 1800s by Morselli. According to Kevan (1980), Morselli suggested that meteorological factors, for the most temperature and its changes during spring and early summer, were important contributing factors in the seasonality of suicides. ...
• Contrary to Morselli, Durkheim (1970) explained that the seasonal patterns of suicides were due to seasonal changes in social behaviour, and, thus, were only artefacts of meteorological factors, like the duration of daylight. ...
• Meteorological factors can be classified according to whether they describe the quantity of a factor, for example length of day in hours or temperature in degree Celsius, or the quality of a factor, for example intensity and spectral content of sunlight (Kevan 1980). ...
• Many kinds of meteorological factors have been thought to exert an influence on the incidence of suicides. ...
• Variables used to describe weather and other meteorological conditions in suicide seasonality studies. ...
• In addition, the following parameters have occasionally been used to describe meteorological conditions: the presence of thunderstorms, weather frontal passages, fog, or wind direction/speed (Pokorny et al. ...
• Several studies have suggested a significant relationship between seasonal changes in meteorological variables and the incidence of suicides. ...
• The relationship between suicides and meteorological conditions, such as amount of light and light/dark cycle, have been proposed to be explained by the seasonal pattern of recurrence of some psychiatric disorders, especially affective disorders (Näyhä 1982, Eastwood & Peacocke 1976, Parker & Walter 1982, Souetre et al. ... Meteorological factors have been suggested to act as an intermediary agent capable of interfering with yearly rhythms in human biological processes. ...
• In the statistical research of the relationships between suicides and meteorological factors some methodological limitations must be noted. Firstly, meteorological data do not always square up regionally with the suicide data. Meteorological data may have been collected over a large area assuming that weather conditions were similar throughout the whole region (Kevan 1980, Dixon & Shulman 1983). Secondly, a real effect of seasonal weather conditions may be masked by the use of monthly data, since it is assumed that meteorological seasons begin on the first day of one month and end on the last day of another (Kevan 1980). Furthermore, the collection of meteorological variables is sparse and frequently these variables are poorly described in an article. The unit used to describe the meteorological condition may have differed between studies (e. ...

• In 1940, the same phenomenon caused the death of nearly 300 people in France and Spain. ...
• So recent meteorological events are not the most violent that France or Europe has experienced.
• Many climatic models predict that the rise in average temperature on the surface of our planet will bring an increase in extreme meteorological events.
• However, as Jean Jouzel, a climatologist at the LSCE (Saclay), explains, “since we cannot assert that there are more extreme meteorological events today, it seems very difficult to establish a link between the recent floods and global warming. ...

•        In response to the occurrence of the El Niño phenomenon in 1997/98, in December 1997 the Inter-Agency Task Force on El Niño was created within the framework of the International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction (IDNDR). In paragraph 6 of its resolution 52/200, the General Assembly welcomed its establishment for cooperative work on the prevention and mitigation of and preparedness for natural disasters related to the El Niño phenomenon. The Task Force has provided member agencies and their partner agencies outside the United Nations system with a platform for combining their efforts to improve understanding of the El Niño phenomenon, disseminating early warnings on the 1997/98 event and channelling technical assistance and capacity-building resources to Member States threatened or affected by El Niño-related disaster impacts. ...
• Indeed, as part of their contribution to the Task Force on El Niño and within the framework of IDNDR, member agencies have intensified their ongoing programmes on the El Niño phenomenon or embarked on new ones.
• Following a proposal submitted by the Government of Ecuador, the Declaration called upon the United Nations to assess the feasibility of establishing an international centre for the research of the El Niño phenomenon at Guayaquil within the context of the Inter-Agency Task Force on El Niño, and to report on its findings to the General Assembly at its fifty-fourth session, through the substantive session of 1999 of the Economic and Social Council.
•        At the fifty-third session of the General Assembly, the Secretary-General submitted a report on progress made with international cooperation to reduce the impact of the El Niño phenomenon (A/53/487), as requested in General Assembly resolution 52/200. While expressing its concern about the widespread and devastating effects of the El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO)in most regions of the world, the General Assembly at its fifty-third session noted the progress made in the improved scientific understanding of the phenomenon and endorsed the recommendations made in the Secretary-General’s report. Subsequently, the Assembly adopted resolution 53/185 on international cooperation to reduce the impact of the El Niño phenomenon, in which it called for, inter alia, the continued and full implementation of its resolution 52/200. It also decided, inter alia, to consider the La Niña phenomenon in the context of such implementation. ...
•        For example, in an early follow-up of Assembly resolution 52/200, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) agreed to take the lead in respect of the science and technology roles of the Inter-Agency Task Force on El Niño, in particular in relation to the understanding, observing and predicting of the El Niño phenomenon and its related meteorological and hydrological impacts. ...
•        In accordance with its lead role on science and technology in the Inter-Agency Task Force on El Niño, WMO embarked on a feasibility study for an international centre for the research of the El Niño phenomenon at Guayaquil, as requested in the Declaration of Guayaquil. ...
• The centre would have two main functions: to promote and undertake research on the ENSO phenomenon and mathematical modelling to permit “downscaling” of global climate predictions to regional and national scales; and to provide outreach services to the community of users of ENSO data and predictions. ...
• WMO has continued to produce and distribute regular updates on the demise of the El Niño phase and the onset of the La Niña phase, in collaboration with the national meteorological services of its Member countries and climate research institutions.
