Too many things can influence an El Nino. There isn't a lot of heat stored in the PWP to feed it, but there's an unusual "pocket" of warm water in the eastern Pacific, just north of the equator. Will it feed the El Nino or will it be transported back to the Pacific Warm Pool? I've seen similar "pockets" feed into the equatorial Pacific as a prelude to the 2002/03 El Nino.Bob Tisdalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15462377647970214137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2220966763638300672.post-13314893146816140622009-09-01T09:15:01.646-04:002009-09-01T09:15:01.646-04:00Hi Bob -

It seems like we've jumped up almost 2 degrees celsius in the 3.4 anomaly since the beginning of the year (approximately)<br /><br />Also, I noticed that the latest week's 3.4 is now above .9 - any thoughts on where we are going? <br /><br />Thanks as always.Johnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2220966763638300672.post-46096920230085258932009-09-01T08:26:33.391-04:002009-09-01T08:26:33.391-04:00Thanks Bob for all your work, especially recent we...Thanks Bob for all your work, especially recent weeks with all this odd Nino behaviour and NOAA announcements (coincided with a major TV documentary team wanting to do a piece on my book 'Chill' (could we be facing a new Little Ice Age?) and getting cold feet (!)in view of the 'record' warmth!!!).
