The Howling Storm is the first comprehensive examination of weather and climate during the Civil War. Climate conditions during the war proved unusual, as irregular phenomena such as El Niño, La Niña, and similar oscillations in the Atlantic Ocean disrupted weather patterns across southern states. Taking into account these meteorological events, Dr. Noe rethinks conventional explanations of battlefield victories and losses, compelling historians to reconsider long-held conclusions about the war.
