A 鈥渟uper El Ni帽o鈥 is predicted for this winter. What is El Ni帽o, how might it impact local areas, and how does it relate to atmospheric rivers and climate change? The following 澳门六合彩开奖结果走势图 experts, listed alphabetically, are available to discuss with reporters these and other related questions.
(he/him), a micrometeorologist in the Department of Land, Air and Water Resources, can discuss the physics of our changing climate in California, including the state of El Ni帽o/La Ni帽a currently and how it is developing, and what factors in the climate system are changing most acutely and how that will affect our local climate in California. Contact: icfaloona@ucdavis.edu
(he/him) is an atmospheric scientist who leads the Convective Atmosphere Group at 澳门六合彩开奖结果走势图. His research focuses on understanding the properties and behavior of clouds and precipitation. He can discuss weather forecasts and weather occurring in California and across the country. Contact: 530-752-6280, migel@ucdavis.edu
(he/him) is a professor of oceanography and an expert in how the runoff of freshwater from the land enters the ocean, impacting estuaries, shorelines and the ocean. His research, centered in California, focuses on Mediterranean climates. Atmospheric rivers are more frequent in El Ni帽o years, resulting in high flows and coastal flooding. The Coastal Oceanography Group at 澳门六合彩开奖结果走势图 has been studying high flows in the Russian River estuary, Tomales Bay and San Francisco Bay. Contact: jlargier@ucdavis.edu
(he/him), a professor in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, is a nationally recognized expert in flooding, and flood risk and management. His research is focused on rivers, floodplains, flood hydrology and watersheds, which he鈥檚 applied to help provide a scientific basis for sound natural-hazards public policy at national and local levels. He holds the Roy J. Shlemon Chair in Applied Geosciences. Contact: 530-754-1041, npinter@ucdavis.edu
(she/her) leads the at 澳门六合彩开奖结果走势图 in the Department of Computer Science. She can discuss climate modeling related to the ocean, including El Ni帽os, sea level rise, marine protected areas and other areas. blends computational, machine leaning and Earth science tools to improve forecasting and to learn more about the ocean鈥檚 role in the climate system. Contact: sonnewald@ucdavis.edu
(he/him) a professor in the Department of Land, Air and Water Resources, specializes in regional climate modeling and can comment on climate change鈥檚 influence on extreme weather events and atmospheric dynamics. on Capital Public Radio鈥檚 Insight in November 2023 (begins minute 18:00).
