WWA WebinarsWWA Webinars

In April 2012, WWA began off a series of occasional webinars to present research by WWA team members, as well as work by others relevant to WWA's stakeholders. Below are the upcoming webinars, and the links to the presentations and audio and/or video from past webinars. Registration instructions will be posted a few weeks prior to each webinar.

October 23, 2015
WWA & NOAA PSD El Niño panel discussion and webinar

What does the current strong El Niño event mean for this coming snowpack and runoff season in Colorado? WWA and the NOAA ESRL Physical Science Division (PSD) are convening a panel of experts to discuss what El Niño is and what it does, past El Niño impacts across Colorado, and what kind of weather we might expect this fall, winter and spring. After an overview of a 2-page briefing document to be released the same day, the panelists will make brief remarks, followed by questions from the audience.

Panel includes Jeff Lukas (WWA), Klaus Wolter (WWA and NOAA PSD), Nezette Rydell (NOAA NWS) and Marty Hoerling (NOAA PSD).
