Cover Story: In coastal Mississippi–Alabama (MS–AL), the anticipated physical association is that El Niño events result in greater precipitation (streamflow). Current research reveals the expected increased moisture associated with El Niño conditions is misleading. Coastal MS–AL unimpaired gages revealed that while January through April, cumulative streamflow volumes increased by ~30% during El Niño events as compared to long-term average, June through August cumulative streamflow volumes resulted in a decreased streamflow of ~20%. The agricultural industry produces a variety of crops (e.g., cotton, peanuts), with the typical planting season ending in mid-June with harvesting occurring in early September. Given the lack of impoundments and irrigated lands in coastal MS-AL, the agricultural sector may be severely impacted by El Niño. View this paper.
