Does this mean that it may be possible to forecast the strength of El Niño more than the 7 months ahead that Pavlakis et al (2008) suggest?Willemnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2220966763638300672.post-44583588882761288222009-04-01T13:30:00.000-04:002009-04-01T13:30:00.000-04:00Middle and high cloud cover follows SST in the col...Middle and high cloud cover follows SST in the cold tongue very well.
