Cartoon: Snow Dice

This cartoon caption is intended to emphasize the theme that whether we're looking at climate data or any other field, recognizing and managing variation is key to drawing meaningful insights from data and making reliable forecasts. The cartoon was used in the October 2023 CAUSE cartoon caption contest and the winning caption was written by Ian Bang, a student at the Friends Seminary in New York City.  The cartoon was drawn by British cartoonist John Landers (www.landers.co.uk) based on an idea by Dennis Pearl from Penn State University.
