Organizers announce the availability of a webinar entitled "National
Weather Service Alaska Climate Forecast Briefing." The event will be
held Thursday, 19 March 2015 from 3:30-4:30 p.m. It can be attended on
the University of Alaska Fairbanks campus (IARC, Akasofu 407) or online.
Do you lay awake at nights wondering what the upcoming season will be
like? Want to place bets with friends and family on next month's
weather? If so, good news:
The tools and techniques for making monthly and season scale climate
forecasts are rapidly changing, with the potential to provide useful
forecasts at the month and longer range. Rick Thoman (Climate Science
and Services Manager, Environmental and Scientific Services Division,
National Weather Service Alaska Region) will review recent climate
conditions around Alaska, review forecast tools and finish up with the
Climate Prediction Center's forecast for the upcoming season.
Thoman will also present a "Model-of-the-Month" special feature in which
each month he will explain one or two of the models that is used in the
forecasts in greater detail. This will be a monthly series generally
taking place the third Friday of each month. This month is on an unusual
day and time due to a scheduling conflict.
