Abstract
- The article presents a study which investigated climate variability's effects on savannah fires in West Africa. It highlights the use of multivariate El Niño southern oscillation (ENSO) index (MEI) in the analysis of ENSO's effect on burned areas. It mentions that temporal and spatial variability showed a large burned area activity from November to February 2000-2007.
