There may be a better link elsewhere:<br /><br />"Meteorologists to discuss El Niño<br /><br />Rick Thoman, of the National Weather Service in Fairbanks, and Jon Gottschalck, of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Climate Prediction Center, will discuss the current state of the El Nino climate phase during an online seminar Aug. 26 at 10 a.m.<br /><br />El Nino, the warm phase of the tropical Pacific ocean and atmosphere, is likely to occur this fall and winter. Thoman and Gottschalck will review the phase's current state and expected development. They will also examine how variations in the tropical Pacific can affect high-latitude regions such as Alaska. They will describe how past El Nino-influenced falls and winters have turned out and review the forecast for this coming cold season in Alaska.<br /><br />The webinar is sponsored by the UAF Alaska Center for Climate Assessment and Policy.<br /><br />See details and register for the event."<br /><br />GaryNL7Yhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15874712728971005352noreply@blogger.com
