Webinar #14 - Thursday, January 17, 2013
Flavors of Climate variability: El Nino, La Nina and Recurring Jet Stream patterns
Gerry Bell, NOAA/CPC, College Park, MD
(biography)
"This presentation is designed to introduce several major climate
phenomena that strongly influence our weather throughout the year,
sometimes for decades at a time. Some of these climate patterns are
linked to recurring jet stream patterns and are called teleconnections.
Another climate phenomenon (El Niño) is linked to tropical Pacific sea
surface temperature and rainfall patterns, while yet another is linked
to Atlantic sea surface temperature patterns. The nature of these
various climate phenomena will be described, and their importance for
weather in the U.S. and elsewhere will be shown. The manner in which
various combinations of climate factors interact, along with aspects of
their predictability, will also be discussed."
