Science Tries To Figure Out Why The Southeast USA Is Not Warming
Posted by Dan Satterfield
From the US National Climate Assessment (and NOAA/NCDC). AN experiment is underway to explore why the Southeast USA is not warming like the rest of North America.
When you look at the warming over North America in the past century, the southeast USA stands out as an exception. In some cases it has actually cooled. Meteorologist Gene Norman told me about a piece he did about an experiment underway in Central Alabama that’s trying to find out why. The study is called SOAS which stands for Southern Oxidant and Aerosol Study.
It’s worth a watch and a big thanks to Gene for allowing me to post it.
