Climate Patterns Viewer

• This tool provides a historical (1981-2010) look
  at how the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO)
  and Arctic Oscillation (AO) have affected local
  climate conditions across the Corn Belt. You can
  explore the influence on
• average monthly total precipitation,
• average monthly temperature,
• deviations of these variables from 1981-2000
  normals, and
• deviations of these variables from neutral
  phases.
• The maps can help you make decisions about
• Climate Risks Identify periods of more extreme
  weather.
• Activity Planning Consider crop choice and
  irrigation needs.
• Marketing Explore forward pricing alternatives.
