Rick Thoman, Climate Science and Services Manager, National Weather Service
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.
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.
Available in-person in IARC/Akasofu 407 on the UAF Campus or online:

Feel free to bring your lunch and join the gathering in-person or join online to learn more about Alaska climate and weather.
This will be a monthly series generally taking place the third Friday of each month.
