Free lecture on El Niño projections for 2014-2015
The El Niño climate phenomenon is anticipated to re-occur in the Pacific later this year. When this event occurs and reaches a moderate or strong intensity, it can significantly impact the worldwide weather, often destructively. The Mariana archipelago is often the recipient of some of the harsh impacts, such as more typhoon and monsoon activity, increased floods, and even a prolonged drought.
The public is invited to attend an APASEEM-sponsored talk on this subject to be held at the Pedro P. Tenorio Multi-Purpose Center this coming Tuesday, May 13, 2014, beginning at 3:30pm.
The region’s National Weather Service warning coordination meteorologist, Charles “Chip” Guard, will share his agency’s most recent scientific projections on the anticipated El Niño phenomenon. In addition, Guard will discuss previous and potential impacts to the region that are associated with this global climate phenomenon.
As at all APASEEM events questions from the public are greatly encouraged.
