ENSO UPDATE

Recent Evolution of Equatorial Pacific SST Departures ( o C) Longitude Time From September January 2012, below-average SSTs were evident across much of the equatorial Pacific Ocean. Since February 2012, above-average SSTs have persisted in the eastern Pacific, while negative anomalies have gradually weakened in the central Pacific.

Niño Region SST Departures ( o C) Recent Evolution The latest weekly SST departures are: Niño ºC Niño ºC Niño 3 0.1ºC Niño ºC

SST Departures ( o C) in the Tropical Pacific During the Last 4 Weeks During the last 4-weeks, equatorial SSTs were below average in the central and east- central Pacific and above average in the eastern Pacific.

Weekly Central & Eastern Pacific Upper-Ocean ( m) Average Temperature Anomalies Positive subsurface anomalies were evident from March-July Negative anomalies developed in late July The negative anomalies began weakening in January 2012 and have recently become positive.

During the last two months, negative subsurface temperature anomalies became near-average to above-average across the eastern equatorial Pacific. During the recent period, near-surface positive anomalies are evident in portions of the eastern equatorial Pacific. Sub-Surface Temperature Departures ( o C) in the Equatorial Pacific Most recent pentad analysis Longitude Time

Pacific Niño 3.4 SST Outlook Figure provided by the International Research Institute (IRI) for Climate and Society (updated 17 April 2012). The majority of models predict ENSO-neutral conditions (Niño-3.4 SST anomalies between - 0.5°C and +0.5°C) during the Northern Hemisphere spring, continuing through the remainder of The average dynamical model forecast is slightly warmer than the statistical models and favor El Niño conditions during the last half of 2012.

Official Probabilistic ENSO Outlook (updated 5 Apr 2012) ENSO-neutral is favored during the Northern Hemisphere spring and summer.

SST Outlook: NCEP CFS.v2 Forecast Issued 23 April 2012 The CFS.v2 ensemble mean (black dashed line) predicts El Niño conditions to develop by JJA (not PDF corrected)

Atmospheric Circulation over the North Pacific & North America During the Last 60 Days 200-hPa Wind From mid-February to mid-April, above-average 500-hPa heights persisted over central and eastern North America, accompanied by above-average temperatures. During most of the period, below-average 500-hPa heights and temperatures were evident near the western coast of North America. 925-hPa Temp. Anoms. ( o C)500-hPa Height & Anoms.
