ACCAP Webinar: El Nino in Alaska - Past, Present & Future

A webinar presented by the Alaska Center for Climate Assessment and Policy (a RISA program) is scheduled for Tuesday, Aug. 26 at 10 a.m. AKDT.

Variations in the tropical Pacific ocean and atmosphere are an important contributor to seasonal weather and climate variability over large portions of the globe, including Alaska.

The warm phase of this variation, El Niño, is favored to be in place for the the upcoming fall and winter seasons. We will review the current state of El Niño and expected development over the next several months and examine how variations in the tropical Pacific can effect high latitude regions such as Alaska.

We finish up with a look at how past El Niño falls and winters have turned out and review the forecast for this coming cold season for Alaska.
