A second severe drought follows within five years

node

An El Nino early in the year and record tropical North Atlantic warmth later in it combine to produce a drought more extensive than 2005. The Rio Negro at Manaus reaches a record low in October. The recurrence interval, not the severity, is what changes the scientific conversation - a once-in-a-century event that repeats in five years was not correctly characterised.

A node is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.

  34. Evidence
  35. Supports the finding that the 2010 drought affected a larger forest area than the 2005 drought with a correspondingly larger committed biomass carbon loss. V55 verification basis: not retrieved in this session; the areas and carbon figures are deliberately not quoted.
