Using NASA satellite observations in tandem with supercomputer processing power for modeling systems, scientists have a comprehensive suite of tools to analyze El Niño events and their global impacts as never before. Throughout this winter, NASA will share the latest scienti c insights and imagery updates related to El Niño. For instance, scientists are learning how El Niño affects the year-to-year variability Looking Up Based on press release from NASA, provided by Bob Eklund Every two to seven years, an unusually warm pool of water—sometimes 4 to 5 degrees Fahrenheit higher than normal—develops across the eastern tropical Paci c Ocean to create a natural short-term climate change event. This warm condition, known as El Niño, affects the local aquatic environment, but also spurs extreme weather patterns around the world, from ooding in California to droughts in Australia. This winter, the 2015-16 El Niño event will be better observed from space than any previous El Niño. This year’s El Niño is already strong and appears likely to equal the event of 1997-98, the strongest El Niño on record, according to the World Meteorologicaal Organization. All 19 of NASA’s current orbiting Earth-observing missions were launched after 1997. In the past two decades, NASA has made tremendous progress in gathering and analyzing data that help researchers understand more about the mechanics and global impacts of El Niño. “El Niño is a fascinating phenomenon because it has such far-reaching and diverse impacts. The fact that res in Indonesia are linked with circulation patterns that in uence rainfall over the United States shows how complex and interconnected the Earth system is,” said Lesley Ott, research meteorologist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, 2ndAnnual Community EXPO Wednesday, November 18, 2015 At the Torrance Cultural Arts Center Toyota Meeting Hall Trumbo is Classic Hollywood Done Right with Bryan Cranston as Blacklisted Screenwriter A side-by-side comparison of two sea surface heights, measured in July 1997 and 2015, by TOPEX/Poseidon and Jason 2, respectively.

El Niño may also affect the yearly variability of the ground-level pollutant ozone that severely affects human health. Researchers will be keenly focused on how the current El Niño will affect the drought in California. “We still have a lot to learn about these connections, and NASA’s suite of satellites will help us understand these processes in a new and deeper way,” said Ott. Many NASA satellites observe environmental factors that are associated with El Niño evolution and its impacts, including sea surface temperature, sea surface height, surface currents, atmospheric winds and ocean color. The joint NASA/NOAA/CNES/EUMETSAT Jason-2 satellite measures sea surface height, which is especially useful in quantifying the heat stored and released by the oceans during El Niño years. NASA satellites also help scientists see the global impact of El Niño. The warmer than normal eastern Paci c Ocean has far-reaching effects worldwide. These events spur disasters, such as res and oods. They change storm tracks, cloud cover and other weather patterns, and they have devastating effects on sheries and other industries. NASA’s Earth-observing satellites help monitor those and other impacts by measuring land and ocean conditions that both in uence and are affected by El Niño. For instance, NASA’s Global Precipitation Measurement mission provides worldwide precipitation measurements every three hours. NASA’s Soil Moisture Active Passive mission measures soil moisture in the top layer of land. Both of these satellites are useful for monitoring drought, improving ood warnings and watching crop and shing industries.

On the heels of the fantastic Bridge of Spies Cold War drama comes Trumbo-an earnest, if not clunky biopic about blacklisted Hollywood screenwriter Dalton Trumbo. Trumbo, the film, almost plays too close to a standard awards-season biopic, though Trumbo, the subject, is an important if not complicated figure that Hollywood can stand to, again, learn from. The film follows the height of legendary, Academy Award-winning screenwriter Dalton Trumbo’s career. To say ‘height’ of his career may prove oxymoronic. Trumbo and the rest of the Hollywood Ten’s tenure on the Hollywood Blacklist for their Communist ideologies put any communist sympathizers out of work in the business. Soon, Trumbo and his comrades find a route to work writing hundreds of screenplays under pseudonyms for studios tremendous and trashy. He would even win two Academy Awards during this time period under different writer’s credits for Roman Holiday and The Brave One only to be limited to watching the ceremonies from his couch, next to his wife and three children. Soon, Trumbo begins to fight back against the Communist prejudice and work his way back into Hollywood. Trumbo is easily director Jay Roach’s “best” film in the most academic sense of the word. It is not nearly as memorable as his decadedefining Meet the Parents and Austin Powers trilogies -- if that is really an appropriate word -- though it is his most refined and carefully crafted. This is in large part due to the very gifted ensemble he has rounded up. Bryan Cranston, for better or for worse, chews up the scenery as Dalton Trumbo in a larger-than-life performance befitting of Trumbo’s towering personality. The performance is quite hammy next to Diane Lane’s subdued portrayal of his wife Cleo or Louis CK’s earnest, though awkward, portrayal of the fictitious Arlen Hird - a character compendium of many of Trumbo’s comrades. Cranston disappears into the role though, leaving us with a better sense of the very complicated man behind the typewriter. Look for reliably standout supporting turns from the always great Michael Stuhlbarg, Helen Mirren, and John Goodman as well. Despite John McNamara’s quick-witted script, the film slogs along for a picture that clocks in at a bit beyond two hours. The beginning takes off with the light feet of the most harmless made-for-TV movies and the brains of an Oscar player, though the pace slows by a significant amount during Trumbo’s blacklisted years. While this is truly the most affecting portion of the film - it becomes rather repetitious, not unlike Trumbo’s career during that time. The history lessons and moral lectures do become a bit cumbersome and things get a bit clunky in the final act, but Trumbo is really too charming of a film to get down on. Sharp, funny and very clean in its craft, it’s classic Hollywood done right - something that Mr. Trumbo himself would be quite pleased with. Check out www.CINEMACY.com for our one of a kind interview with Bryan Cranston, Diane Lane, Elle Fanning, Michael Stuhlbarg, and Director Jay Roach. Cranston talks about getting into the character of Dalton, incessant smoking included, while Fanning talks about her favorite costumes as Dalton’s daughter, Nikola Trumbo. From Roach’s interest in the Hollywood Ten to the actor’s initial script impressions, our interview highlights the individual connections everyone made to the film and is nothing short of inspiring, and a fun read. • Film Review Bryan Cranston and Diane Lane in Trumbo.
