Understanding 20th century global-mean surface temperature variabilitys

Prof. David Thompson of Colorado State University will present a lecture in the MIT Atmospheric Science Seminar (MASS) Series. His research focuses on improving our understanding of global climate variability using observational data; interests include large-scale atmospheric dynamics, the interpretation of observed climate change, stratosphere/troposphere coupling, ocean/atmosphere interaction, decadal climate variability, and the climate impacts of large-scale atmospheric phenomena.
