Does having a weak El Nino weather pattern this year mean there will be a similar pattern next year? In other words, do El Nino commonly repeat themselves for several years or is it completely random from year to year?

Asked by Planner over 6 years ago

El Nino does seem to run in cycles but specific to your question, it is difficult to predict a given year based on the previous year. If you'd like to study more here is a page from the National Weather Service, you can also search El Nino Southern Oscillation. https://www.weather.gov/mhx/ensowhat

he following questions pertaining to climate change policy. Should there be an effort at the federal and/or state level to limit greenhouse gas emissions and the effects of climate change? If not, should there be an effort made by public and private industry? Why or why not?

Asked by Mary almost 6 years ago

Pretty highly charged issue, Mary. You'll likely have a more substantive answer from your state climatologist. Pretty sure each state has one and there are plenty of private organizations doing climate research.

Thank you great answer! I have one more for you do you think people should remain in shelter the WHOLE duration of the warring or do you think it is safe sometime after the rotation has passed?

Asked by Daniel over 6 years ago

Small differences from storm to storm can have a big impact. Would it be safe after a lone supercell passed? Probably. Would your location relative to a squall line of multiple storm cells be important? Absolutely. Extra caution rarely hurts. Thanks.

My son and I are wondering if the amount of oxygen in the air we breathe changes when it rains. For example, his principal believes that oxygen levels increase when it rains. Some people think it decreases. We are not so sure it changes at all.

Interesting question. I must admit atmospheric composition beyond the basics is a little out of my area. There is some evidence to suggest that lightning increases nitrogen. Thanks!

I have developed a new theory on hurricanes and tornadoes (different than meteorologists) and want to have the theories tested. Where do I go?

Hi. Hmmm...guess I would try here: http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/ Good luck!

Purely out of curiosity do you read other people’s q&as or even ask questions?

Asked by Ozark was over 5 years ago

Very interesting question. From time to time I do look at the most recent few posts and look at a few answers. Oddly don’t think I’ve ever posted a question! Probably should change that. Thanks, Ozark!

Is it hard to follow a tornado or a sever storm live on air?

Asked by Daniel over 6 years ago

Generally not, Daniel. Radar information from the network of government radars is updated at least every five to six minutes and in as little as two. Newer radars coming online down the road will update in less than a minute. Great question.
