Finger Lakes Institute Classroom welcomes David J. Nicosia, Warning Coordination Meteorologist, NOAA-National Weather Service of Binghamton, NY. He will present "Climate Change in Central New York: Past, Present and Future" on April 10th at 6:30p.m. Temperature, precipitation and snowfall data will be presented for the last 50 to 100 years at various climate stations in upstate NY. Changes will be correlated with global changes in weather circulation patterns: El Nino/Southern Oscillation, Arctic Oscillation, and the Pacific Decadal Oscillation. Are such changes a sign or "footprint" of global warming? How is the present state of the climate system different than 30 to 40 years ago? Is the frequency of severe storms and flooding increasing in central NY? What might our climate look like in 2100 if the IPCC computer model projection of around 2 to 3 degrees C of warming occurs? This event is free and open to the public. Registration requested by calling (315) 781-4382 or email fli@hws.edu.
