What is up with the 2009 El Nino

Five day mean values of 850-hPa vector wind anomalies. The zonal wind anomalies are shaded (m s -1 ) with blue shades indicating easterly wind anomalies and red shades indicating westerly wind anomalies.

Expected impacts of Warm ENSO Sao Paulo September 08/2009 September total rainfall was about 3 times the climatology

Forecasts of sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies for the Niño 3.4 region (5°N-5°S, 120°W- 170°W). Figure courtesy of the International Research Institute (IRI) for Climate and Society. Figure updated 14 September Forecast sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies for the Niño 3.4 region (5°N-5°S, 120°W-170°W) from the NCEP Climate Forecast System (CFS). Forecast anomalies are corrected with a PDF (probability density function) based on retrospective forecasts. The PDF correction reduces the amplitude of the forecast anomalies. Figure updated 30 September 2009.

A majority of the model forecasts for the Niño-3.4 SST index suggest that El Niño will reach at least moderate strength during the Northern Hemisphere fall (3- month Niño-3.4 SST index of +1.0°C or greater). Many model forecasts even suggest a strong El Niño (3-month Niño-3.4 SST index in excess of +1.5°C) during the fall and winter, but in recent months some models, including the NCEP CFS, have over-predicted the degree of warming observed so far in the Niño-3.4 region Based on the model forecasts, the seasonality of El Niño, and the continuation of westerly wind bursts, El Niño is expected to strengthen and most likely peak at moderate strength. enhanced precipitation over the central tropical Pacific Ocean Expected El Niño impacts during October-December 2009 include enhanced precipitation over the central tropical Pacific Ocean and a continuation of drier- than-average conditions over Indonesia. For the contiguous United States, potential impacts include above-average precipitation along the Gulf Coast, from Texas to Florida, and below-average precipitation for the Pacific Northwest. Other potential impacts include a continued suppression of Atlantic hurricane activity, along with above-average temperatures and below-average snowfall for the Northern Plains Discussion by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), NOAA’s National Weather Service, and their funded institutions
