1 Changing Climate and the Outlook for Oilseed 2016 Evelyn Browning Garriss
2 Conclusions Climate change is not linear. It ebbs and flows. There is a 90% chance the current El Niño will be strong and last through February and an 85% chance that it will last until May. Often after a strong El Niño a cooling La Nina follows close behind. The combination of the strong El Niño along with the eruption of an Icelandic volcano usually creates a warm dry winter in the Northern tier of states through the Midwest. Springtime El Niños create dry planting seasons for the Eastern Corn Belt. Meanwhile conditions in the Atlantic look negative for European canola and sunflower oil. The timing of a potential 2016 La Niña will determine the 2016 soybean crop if it starts in summer, it would reduce soybean oil production, if later, it creates a good harvest. The El Niño is good for South American soybean production and bad for Asian soy and palm oil production. Historically El Niños reduce and La Niñas raise oilseed prices. Evelyn Browning Garriss / Browning Media 2
3 Basically the climate is determined by: How much solar radiation the Earth receives (the Sun) The patterns of where the solar radiation falls or is reflected (Clouds/Volcanoes) Where the heat from the solar radiation is stored (Oceans/Urban Heat Islands) Evelyn Browning Garriss / Browning Media 3
4 As an historical climatologist, I look at what factors are shaping the weather and use: Historical records, coral and tree rings, sediment layers, and glacial cores to learn how they shaped the weather in the past. Evelyn Browning Garriss / Browning Media 4
5 Meet the factors shaping global weather over the next six months! Evelyn Browning Garriss / Browning Media 5
6 Clouds, the debris from large volcanoes, and man-made aerosols can reflect back sunlight and change rainfall patterns. The eruption of Iceland s Bardarbunga volcano may affect this winter. Evelyn Browning Garriss / Browning Media 6
7 North Atlantic volcanoes change the jetstream over the Atlantic. North Pacific volcanoes change the jetstream over the Pacific. Strong Icelandic Low Positive NAO Evelyn Browning Garriss / Browning Media 7
8 Iceland had 3 large eruptions over the past century, in 1918, and 2012 El Niño The following winters had warm mid-winters in the Midwest and Northeast The 1918 eruption was during an El Niño and did not interfere with the El Niño effect. Evelyn Browning Garriss / Browning Media 8 8

12 This year s precipitation is coming in the form of extreme storms. Goliath Jonas 016/weather_weekly pdf Evelyn Browning Garriss /James Garriss 12
13 Three factors are increasing the extreme nature of this year s storms: 1. El Niño is creating atmospheric rivers which pour tropical moisture into storms. 2. The Atlantic is extraordinarily hot, creating high humidity. 3. Debris from Iceland s Bárðarbunga volcano is creating more micro-droplets and thicker clouds. This trend will continue into spring creating very severe and damaging spring storms in North America and Europe. Evelyn Browning Garriss /James Garriss 13
14 One of the results of this pattern of heavy storms followed by heat is the rapid melt of snow. This has caused heavy flooding. =ww_past Evelyn Browning Garriss / James Garriss 14
15 The warm phase of the AMO diverts precipitation from the Gulf, Great Plains and Prairie Provinces. Warm AMO This increases the risk of heat waves, droughts and wildfires. Cool AMO Evelyn Browning Garriss / James Garriss 15

29 There is a new paradigm in the Pacific The Pacific Decadal Oscillation tipped from a positive to a negative trend in Positive (warm phase) PDO The Pacific Decadal Oscillation Each phase lasts years Negative (cool phase) PDO 2006-present Evelyn Browning Garriss / Browning Media 29
30 The Atlantic AMO changed in The Pacific Dedacal Oscillation is less stable but from the mid 1970s to the late 1990s the US & Canada enjoyed the most benign combination of the PDO and AMO. Since 2006, the two oceans have combined to create dry weather in the West and Great Plains. As the east Pacific changes from cool to warm and back again, drought hits much of the nation for months, even years at a time. during some El Niños Evelyn Browning Garriss / Browning Media 30
