Studying climate to understand weather
TROPICAL ZONE | LONG RANGE ZONE | SPACE WEATHER
A COLLABORATIVE CLIMATE On our team, a local forecast for a high impact event follows a multi-state, interdisciplinary collaboration on how Earth Systems such as El Nino and atmospheric teleconnections influence short- and long-term patterns affecting a region. We utilize NOAA resources such as the Climate Prediction Center as essential components of our analyses. We present findings in a plain language approach to help non-technical audiences build a better understanding of climate science, changes and possible risks. Contact us to explore presentation options to your company or staff.
LONG-RANGE DECISION SUPPORT We know municipalities, highway administrations departments of transportation, and airports must order critical supplies such as road salt or de-icer fluid well in advance of winter. Our experienced Long Range Team can streamline 30- 60- and 90-day forecasts for your agency or department, and provide documented evidence of our accuracy in the short and long range in previous high impact events. Contact us for a wide-angle view on how to harness current climate research to improve long-term preparation for known climate risks: clients@footsforecast.org
FORECASTING OPPORTUNITIES The links for our seasonal and specialty zones display examples of our current and prior experience in forecasting Atlantic basin tropical cyclones, making long range projections, and even investigating how solar output affects hemispheric weather. Students with an interest in forecasting for these specialty zones, contact Director of Team Operations Aaron Salter: aaron.salter@footsforecast.org

This is a graphical way of conveying how "compressed" or "expanded" the atmosphere is in the 14,000 to 18,000 foot level above mean sea level. This provides forecasters insight on how upper level air patterns are driving changes in surface weather.) |
On the Foot's Forecast Team, an effective discussion of what drives weather begins with climate. We infuse in our team an appreciation and awareness of underlying climate factors from a global scale.
