Phil Posted February 15, 2019 Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 We often see even stronger IO forcing signals in bonafide weak-moderate NINOs but that clearly doesn't make them any less NINO so this point is pretty mute in the context of modern events if you're going to play the E hem interference card. What's very obvious here which is the point of what I've been saying this entire time is we've already significantly deviated from the "normal"/average state in the Pacific. You will not see a predominant, anomalous, persistent convective anomaly near the dateline during "normal" or near-normal ENSO, that's pretty elementary knowledge.I’m not sure we’re going to agree on this one, brother. In the absence of any stable low pass signal in the upper levels/velocity potential, and the muted SSTAs (the last six weeks have averaged +0.4C in ONI) to argue this is any kind of established El Niño strains credulity. The negative OLR over the IPWP is a reflection of the stronger walker cell this winter vs niño climo (impossible to deny this..the Hadley/Walker intensity ratio has not been consistently niño-esque). I think if you call this a niño, then you have to consider all winters either El Niño or La Niña and eliminate neutral.

Phil Posted February 15, 2019 Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 If the argument now is going to be that this isn't a NINO event based on some highly subjective analysis of the distribution of OLR in the Pacific & Maritime Continent that's obviously fraught w/ personal biases, the OLR/precipitation indices are both in NINO territory (above 0.5 sigma which roughly corresponds to the CPC ONI threshold in terms of sigma) in January & going to be even higher for February.I don’t see how we make 5 trimonthlies AOA +0.5C. The timing of the KW return will make that tough in the near term even with the nuclear WWB ongoing.

Phil Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 Between 62-68% of days in Jan/Feb fell below Niño threshold on all but one SST dataset (not including Hadley which isn’t out yet). However, it looks like hotbox OISSTv2 saved CPC’s arse at the last minute in February with the late spike. So, I guess I’ll roll with it. Doesn’t change my view on what unfolded, but questioning the data and the institution that serves as the foundation for so much research is not a great look.

Phil Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 After struggling along through all of 2018 (and the first two months of 2019) the El Niño is finally looking legitimate as we approach the equinox. Statistically speaking, when the ONI increases from NDJ to FMA and is in positive territory, it almost always forbodes a niño in the subsequent winter.

It has to take awhile for the atmosphere to respond. Very true. I think the freakish SOI spike where the 30 day value reached +10 could have been the trigger. I was thinking the other day the Pacific had been largely shut down for quite some time before the cold weather began. At first the configuration simply wasn't favorable for us to get cold. It's possible this recent ENSO warm spike could trigger some warm weather a bit down the road. Such a strange year it's impossible to know anything for sure. Quote Death To Warm Anomalies!

Phil Posted March 6, 2019 Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 The seeds for this cold spell were sown way before the recent spike and probably unrelated to ENSO. It has to take awhile for the atmosphere to respond.The atmosphere is already in an El Niño state, for all intents and purposes. In fact, February was one of the most niño-like tropical forcing patterns I’ve ever seen. The extratropical wavetrain also plays a huge role in seeding ENSO (which it has already done), so it’s a two way street. The QBO and tje lower frequency, solar-driven warm pool cycle also play significant roles. So it’s not like the atmosphere is out of sync or something..it’s perfectly in sync. A niño can easily teleconnect to a cool, stormy West under certain boundary conditions. 1 Quote Live Weather Cam: https://www.youtube.com/live/KxlIo8-KVpc?si=xKLCFYWbZieAfyh6 PWS Wunderground https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KMDBETHE62 PWS CWOP/NOAA: https://www.weather.gov/wrh/timeseries?site=F3819&hours=72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted March 6, 2019 Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 Here was the tropical forcing structure in February. It doesn’t get more El Niño than this (red is anomalous subsidence, blue is anomalous convection). The residual effects on the wavetrain following the SSW just completely smothered the climatological EOF stations across the NH. You can even see the STJ/diabatic feed into the SW US there. It’s a fully coupled machine. The question is whether the SSW and hydrostatic perturbation to the structure of the tropical cell network was enough to pull off what the 2013 event did, and force another climate shift lasting at least several years. We’ll see. 2 Quote Live Weather Cam: https://www.youtube.com/live/KxlIo8-KVpc?si=xKLCFYWbZieAfyh6 PWS Wunderground https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KMDBETHE62 PWS CWOP/NOAA: https://www.weather.gov/wrh/timeseries?site=F3819&hours=72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted March 6, 2019 Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 I think it’s a misconception, especially after the last several years, that +ENSO has to = warmth in the west. That is absolutely not true, even if +ENSO is an easier conduit for western warmth (which it is..there’s no denying that). Out here on the east coast, some of the coldest, and snowiest months (and winters in general) on record have been La Niñas and cold neutrals. And while our weather patterns are more chaotic and less dynamically chained to the structure of ENSO/warm pool forcing, the North Pacific wavetrain is most certainly capable of its own degree of freedom, especially if the boundary conditions set peripherally over Eurasia/NATL constructively promote a severing of the metaphorical shackles imposed by the WPAC warm pool/ENSO machine (which the SSW did this winter). Look at cases like 1968/69, 1972/73, or to a lesser extent the early parts of 2006/07 and 2009/10. The idea that +ENSO is a death sentence for western winters is really an artifact of more recent times. Back in the LIA, it wasn’t nearly as much of an issue as it is now since the climatological location of the Indo-West Pacific Warm Pool was so much farther to the Southwest and consolidated. If that is happening again (long way from knowing that) then the ENSO/wavetrain relationship across the NPAC will change once again.

snow_wizard Posted April 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 This could be the moment of truth for the future (or lack therof) for this El Nino. For the first time in a year the Equatorial subsurface sea temps at 155 meters are not warmer than normal. If we can avoid a WWB for a while longer this Nino may peak in the early summer and fall from there. As of right now no WWB is in sight. Quote Death To Warm Anomalies!

Not only is there a downwelling KW present but there’s another WWB in the pipeline for later this month. In spite of the recent WWB the subsurface profile west of 180 has become less favorable for El Nino in recent days. I think we might have used up the excess heat in the Western Equatorial Pacific with the warm ENSO conditions of the past year. Also bear in mind we had a major Nino not too long ago. I question whether the system really "needs" another year of El Nino at this point. My hope for next winter is neutral. Quote Death To Warm Anomalies!

This is opposite to what we'd we expect for El Nino advancement. This is more in lines with La Nina forcing.

Phil Posted July 11, 2021 Report Share Posted July 11, 2021 That was back when I was predicting a +ENSO in 2019 and catching flack from the icepussies instead of the heat misers. Good times. Though technically 2019/20 ended up a weaker +ENSO in terms of ONI than 2018/19, despite a more canonical atmospheric response (+IOD was the booster). I thought it would be the other way around.
