Presentation transcript:

How is the Ocean affecting our Weather Today? http://www.wunderground.com/tropical/ What tropical cyclones are present, and where? Go to the Hurricane Archive, http://www.wunderground.com/hurricane/hurrarchive.asp. What appear to be the most active years? Go to http://apollo.lsc.vsc.edu/classes/met130/notes/chapter10/ocean_currents.html. Read through the next 3 frames. Is there any correlation between tropical cyclone activity and the occurrence of El Niños? Go to http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/psd/map/images/sst/sst.anom.gif, then http://www.elnino.noaa.gov/lanina.html. What phase of the ENSO are we currently in? Read about the floods of October 1994 in http://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/fs-073-94/pdf/FS-94-073.pdf. Did hurricanes have anything to do with this? What was unusual about it? Was this an El Niño, La Niña, or normal year? What ocean factors appear to be affecting our current drought pattern?
