Remote Impacts from El Niño and La Niña on Climate Variables and Major Crops Production in Coastal Bangladesh

El Niño and La Niña Southern Oscillation (ENSO) are major drivers that affect climatic variables in many countries. Therefore, ENSO mediated variation in climatic factors have significant consequences for crop production. We studied ENSO mediated variations in temperature and rainfall in the five co...
