More interesting is what the oceanic changes that go with climatic change & how that impacts the Walker Circulation Cell.... aka trade-winds... and cyclonic storms... within the span of over 2 decades, the SST of the Pacific surrounding our islands has shown a marked upward temp increase, those adding the WV potential for cyclonic storms, increasing the sea level height (warm water expansion) and having the potential to create ENSO like changes in the Walker Circulation cells.. ie. changing the circulation from trade-wind dominate weather patterns to Kona wind dominate weather patterns...
