El Nino 2014?

Post by Royal » Tue May 20, 2014 5:29 am

Seems like every year they say "could be El Nino".
May 19, 2014: Every ten days, the NASA/French Space Agency Jason-2 satellite maps all the world's oceans, monitoring changes in sea surface height, a measure of heat in the upper layers of the water. Because our planet is more than 70% ocean, this information is crucial to global forecasts of weather and climate.

Lately, Jason-2 has seen something brewing in the Pacific—and it looks a lot like 1997. "A pattern of sea surface heights and temperatures has formed that reminds me of the way the Pacific looked in the spring of 1997," says Bill Patzert, a climatologist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. "That turned out to be the precursor of a big El Niño."

Using Pipeline as part of the music was a nice touch.

Looks like CA crazies might be a different plane then the ones around here. we have the regular back assward ones.

Some times name calling only makes the situation worse. Don't poke the animal.

Many people don't appreciate the power of nature. Earth goes one, with or without, man.
