Story Posted on Jan 08, 2021 Space History Department Astronautical engineer and astronomer George Robert Carruthers, a name well-known and dearly regarded in the space science community, and a good friend of the National Air and Space Museum, passed away on Saturday, December 26 after a long illness. His fame derives in part from the fact that he developed and built a compact and powerful ultraviolet electronographic telescope, which became the first (and still the only) astronomical...

) La Nina is ongoing heading this winter with cool anomalies noted in the sea surface temperature in the central and eastern equatorial Pacific.  The typical coupled atmospheric processes have been observed as well. As a result, La Nina will be a key driver for the wintertime atmospheric circulation pattern, with implication on the local conditions on the Great Lakes.  In the typical La Nina wintertime setup, blocking high pressure develops over Pacific Ocean which sets up a ridge over the ea...
