Daniel Swain does more than Predict the Weather

from Rising Tide: The Ocean Podcast

In the latest episode of Rising Tide the Ocean Podcast David and Vicki talk with Boulder- based weather and climate scientist Dr. Daniel Swain about the emerging El Nino that’s predicted to become a major, perhaps historic one this fall on top of a new marine heatwave already impacting the Pacific coast. Along with working with the University of California and National Science Foundation’s Center for Atmospheric Research, Daniel also shares his knowledge of weather and climate across our blue world through his popular Weather West blog and Weather West YouTube channel. So, he’s the right informed communicator in this summer of climate disasters to talk about what we can expect and why in the coming months. Let’s find out what might happen along our coasts and rolling onto our shores with the Rising Tide.
