Description:The possibility of long-term climate change continues to be a concern and focus for scientific investigations and for the development of government policies and international agreements. However, for commercial interests, especially in agriculture and water resources, seasonal climate anomalies and short-term climatic variability, as well as possible long-term trends, are important. This report is the best description of recent climatic variations and changes that we can assemble immediately after the end of the past calendar year. Subsequently, the scientific community will examine in greater detail the evidence we have put forward at this time. Although many components of the global climate system are not fully described, this report intends to assess annual changes in the circulation, structure and constituents of the atmosphere, and changes in surface conditions of temperature, precipitation, snow and ice. It describes the evolution of ENSO during the past year, and identifies major, regional climatic events around the world.
