This discussion topic submitted by Willie Reed ( reedwa@muohio.edu) at 4:22 pm on 3/27/01. Additions were last made on Saturday, May 4, 2002.

I plan on talking about " What actually makes the weather work in the tropics". Such things as Atmospheric Circulation in the tropics, El-Nino and its effects, hurricanes and the two major ones that affected the Bahamas. Then in my talk I will narrow this all down and give you a general overveiw of what is going on. This topic is important, because we need to know what is effecting the climate all the time, not just certain parts of the year, or one certain event.
