ged, one of the things my neighbor on the right and I agree on is the water is higher over the last couple of years, the weather has changed, and
the water temps are warmer.
We are hoping for a great fishing season this summer!

Thanks, ged.
One of the easiest to understand and clearly illustrated articles I have recently read on the subject.

Thanks Ged, you are a gentleman and a scholar. I find Dr. Gillham to be a small college meteorologist who just got his PHD three years ago. He seems
to have a major interest in preparing "TV Weather Men" for media presentation of "weather forecasts". This doesn't make him wrong, but may explain his
ability to simplify the explanation of El Niņo/La Niņa. This site: http://www.elnino.noaa.gov/forecast.html
is a well funded effort and contains links to forecasts, observations, and research methods they've utilized.
I did learn from Dr. Gillham that this year's (potential annual) El Niņo is graphically a blip on the sine wave's low point as seen over a period of
decades of rising and falling sea water temperatures in the applicable regions. I don't remember seeing that before. Thanks.

Thank you for confirming. That's what I thought. Several people owe me a steak dinner. Viva El Niņo!

where has the water been higher and by how much. no scientists are claiming that water levels have already risen, just that they will rise and by vary
small increments. As far as temps, we have had El Nino's many times before. Long before man was heating up the planet.

Nat Geo: Scientific research indicates sea levels worldwide have been rising at a rate of 0.14 inches (3.5 millimeters) per year since the early
1990s.
you can google sea level rise and find all kinds of info. Have not found any argument against the rise....only the cause.
For what ever reason, we have noticed it at the high tide line in front of our house.

David Kier swears sea level is the same based on his many adventures to Shell Island. So it's up to you on whom to believe

More El Niņo info
http://sealevel.jpl.nasa.gov/science/elninopdo/learnmorenino...
I was splaining to my neighbor about they why to's and what for's on the weather pattern and his blank stare and slight look of doubt had me sending
this link to him so he could look around and take it all in at his own speed.

Folks---the sea level rise they're talking about in the article has to do with the warmer sea temps in the Pacific caused by the El Nino pattern and
nothing to do with climate change--- water expands as it heats up---that's how they measure sea surface temps with satellites.

in places like Laguna Ojo de Liebre where it is so flat, it is very noticeable if there is even a small rise in water levels which has definitely been
observed there. They had to move the camp sites up as they are now flooded at a high tide. My original camp from 25 years ago is underwater at high
tide.

Here is a good site to help clear-up any misunderstanding. I thought the stuff beginning on page 16 was appropriate to your contention.

Come on Ged, you're taking all the fun out of it, how long can this post stay active with a limitation like that?
