The National Weather Service will hold an Alaska Climate Forecast
Briefing on Friday, 22 May 2015 from 12:00-1:00 p.m. AKDT. The briefing
will be held in room 407 of the International Arctic Research Center
(IARC) on the campus of the University of Alaska Fairbanks and will also
be available online via the Alaska Center for Climate Assessment and
Policy (ACCAP) Listserve. This will be a monthly series generally taking
place the third Friday of each month.
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 present the Climate
Prediction Center's forecast for the upcoming season.
Rick will also present a "Feature-of-the-Month" special addition in
which each month he will highlight a topic relevant to the particular
month. May's topic will be the warm sea surface temperatures recently
experienced.
The public is invited to bring a lunch and join the gathering in-person
or join the briefing online.
