Several large-scale climate patterns influenced climate conditions and weather patterns across the globe during 2010. The transition from a warm El Niño phase at the beginning of the year to a cool La Niña phase by July contributed to many notable events, ranging from record wetness across much of Australia to historically low Eastern Pacific basin and near-record high North Atlantic basin hurricane activity.
Analysis of a 13-year record of global earth observations has showed considerable variations in
vegetation dynamics on regional and continental scales. The state of vegetation has been monitored
using estimates of the Fraction of Absorbed Photosynthetically Active Radiation (FAPAR) from 1998 to 2010 (Gobron et al. 2010).
These data highlight geographical regions with anomalous vegetation in 2010 with respect to previous years.
