Do you know what is QBO?

Quasi-Biennial Oscillation(QBO) is a very interesting atmospheric topic. I finish a term paper about QBO for Dr Yanai's class - "Wave motion in Tropics". You may want to know why the zonal wind in the tropical lower stratosphere will oscillate from westerly wind to easterly wind in about 2 and half years. Did QBO relate to El Nino? Welcome to see my QBO Story!

Beautiful Sunset!

Wow! So beautiful sunset, doesn't it? I took this photo just right before a strong thunder storm would move into Ames,IA. That was in May 1997. I lived in Buchanan Hall of Iowa State University.

My Iowa story not just only that. I remember there was a sleepless night. I got up early and go to the top of Buchanan Hall to see a beautiful sunrise. The flat place, Iowa, always make you smile. Welcome to see the beautiful state, Iowa!
