Greetings! I'm Ron Crouse, head instructor of Marine Education at Oregon State University's Hatfield Marine Science Center in Newport, Oregon. I welcome you to my new class "Mapping El-Niņo." I designed this hands-on class to provide students with the opportunity to learn how scientists and oceanographers study El-Niņo. It will also teach them how to read NOAA's Sea Surface Temperature maps and give them a chance to try their hand at developing their own SST anomaly charts. I invite you to read through the class as you will find complete instructions and a materials list. Then sharpen up your colored pencils and test your skill at creating a computer model. On March 18 I will post the "answers" direct from the NOAA computers so you can judge for yourself how well you did at "Mapping El-Niņo."
