Greetings ENSO Participants,
Last night, we had an amazing ENSO Short Observation & Data Analysis (SODA) webinar featuring Shumate Middle School teacher, Mr. Jeff Bouwman. Jeff shared how his students have been taking GLOBE ENSO protocol measurements and exploring the campaign's three "Guiding Investigative Questions."

Mr. Jeff Bouwman and his Shumate Middle School students are NASA GLOBE ENSO Student Research Campaign superstars. Check out what they have been doing in the video below!
Shumate Middle School was the first location for a new WeatherSTEM program, including a weather station, cloud camera, and an agricultural station. Learn more in the video below!
Scientists rely on research, statistical models, and climate forecast models to help them determine upcoming natural events.
Currently, scientists are have a difficult time deciding if and when the potential big El Niño event will happen. It will happen in 2017, but will it be the Summer or Fall?
"Right now, many climate forecast models do predict the development of a full-fledged El Niño...
How do you ENSO?
Did you know that students from around the world are taking measurements as part of the NASA GLOBE ENSO Student Research Campaign?
Check out what's happening at the Medford Memorial Middle School in New Jersey, USA!
We are looking for YOUR videos, showcasing your students taking measurements that are part of the NASA GLOBE ENSO Student Research Campaign. (Note, you...
Currently, we are in an ENSO-neutral period called "La Nada." La Nada is the midpoint between an El Niño and La Niña. This occurs when the ocean temperatures in the Pacific Ocean are near average.
The "in-between" ocean state can be frustrating for long-range forecasters. "It's like driving without a decent road map — it makes forecasting difficult," said climatologist Bill Patzert of NASA's...
ENSO Student Research Campaign Students in the United States, here is where you take your GLOBE date to the next level!

As you know, the theme for Phase II of the ENSO Student Research Campaign is "Taking Data to the Next Level!" For our U.S. schools, teachers, and partners, GLOBE has just announced the 2017 series of Regional Student Research Symposia (previously called GLOBE Regional Science Fairs).
This is an opportune time to take your data to the next level. As the campaign lead, I will advise you to...
A few months ago, scientists and researchers gave La Niña a slim-to-none chance of forming.....
BUT.....
recent weather and climate models are now saying that La Niña has a 70% chance of taking shape, albeit a weak one.
Check out this cool article by NOAA's Climate research group.
