Phil Posted April 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 Here are a few key points currently being dealt w/ in the production of ERSSTv5. Interesting. I would like to see some satellite data added back into it, at least in the limited style of ERSSTv3. 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...
Webberweather53 Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 Btw ICYMI, I recently updated my reanalysis of 19th-21st century ENSO behavior via the "Ensemble Oceanic Nino Index (ENS ONI)" I've been running in near real-time for the past year or so. The biggest changes in this update of the index include the addition of ECMWF's newest reanalysis dataset, (ECMWF's Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Reanalysis of the 20th Century), removal the very high resolution OISSTv2 (1/4th deg) & GHRSST OSTIA (1/20th) due to appreciable cold biases I found in these datasets (relative to others) that can be attributable to their disparate resolutions, as well as detection of an error in all December ONI data (which may have arisen in the previous version from an bug in my code used to calculate the monthly ONI) In the following text file, I've outlined my methodology and have kept a record of various changes/additions to the ENS ONI over the past year or so & I also provided standardized data, rankings, a "confidence index", raw monthly SST data (rounded to the nearest .01), and Inter-dataset Variance to provide first guess uncertainty estimates. The forthcoming release of Extended Reconstructed Sea Surface Temperature Version 5 (ERSSTv5), NOAA's 20th Century Reanalysis Version 3 (NOAA 20CRv3), and Hadley Centre Sea Ice and Sea Surface Temperature Version 2 (HADISST2) within the next several months-year or so will warrant yet another reanalysis of the ENS ONI w/ more improved ONI estimates through the mid-19th century in addition to possible extension of the ENS ONI to 1860.http://weatheradvance.com/home/weat...c-NINO-Index-ENS-ONI-Raw-Data-1865-522017.txtWhen I get a chance here in the next week or two, I will also update and release an ensemble Southern Oscillation Index (ENS SOI) that I've been working on for the past several months.Here are the updated ONI tables color coded according to the Trenberth (1997) definition, which differs slightly from the one used at the CPC. This definition designates ENSO events when the NINO 3.4 region sea surface temperature anomalies are greater than +/- ~ 0.4C for 6 successive tri-monthly periods as opposed to +/- 0.5C for 5 successive tri-monthlies. http://weatheradvance.com/home/weather/weatheradvance.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Screen-Shot-2017-05-02-at-7.20.13-PM-750x1024.pnghttp://weatheradvance.com/home/weather/weatheradvance.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Screen-Shot-2017-05-02-at-7.20.53-PM-755x1024.pnghttp://weatheradvance.com/home/weather/weatheradvance.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Screen-Shot-2017-05-02-at-7.21.58-PM-748x1024.pnghttp://weatheradvance.com/home/weather/weatheradvance.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Screen-Shot-2017-05-02-at-7.22.53-PM-755x1024.pnghttp://weatheradvance.com/home/weather/weatheradvance.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Screen-Shot-2017-05-02-at-7.23.44-PM.pnghttp://weatheradvance.com/home/weather/weatheradvance.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Screen-Shot-2017-05-02-at-7.24.22-PM.png 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In retrospect, I probably could have added 1897-98 to the list of weak La Nina years w/ a corresponding question mark, this event is certainly well within striking distance of being classified under the Trenberth definition if the new data from ERSSTv5, HADISST2, and NOAA 20CRv3 are supportive.

Webberweather53 Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 I've created a new Extended MEI (MEI.ext) time series using the 10 ensemble members from ECMWF's 20th Century Reanalysis Model (ERA-20CM) and experimented with several PC weighting adjustments I plan to implement in the Ensemble Extended MEI (ENS-MEI.ext). I also provided rankings and a time series w/ the original MEI.ext definition without any PC weighting (although 30-year sliding base periods and the EOF region remained the same as the new definition. Any comments, questions, feedback, etc. would be greatly appreciated! http://weatheradvance.com/home/weather/weatheradvance.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/ERA-20CM-MEI-1900-Nov-2010.txt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webberweather53 Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 Hard to deny the astounding interannual ENSO behavior similarities between 1929-1932 and the last 3 years. Cool Neutral >>> Borderline weak NINO >>> Strong-Super El Nino >>> Weak -ENSO event >>> Failed +ENSO event (but warmer than the preceding year)http://weatheradvance.com/home/weather/weatheradvance.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Screen-Shot-2017-05-22-at-3.06.02-PM-1024x185.png http://weatheradvance.com/home/weather/weatheradvance.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Screen-Shot-2017-05-22-at-3.06.20-PM-1024x186.png 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't looked back that far for analogs, but I'm definitely going to now. 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 June 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 All of those years sucked for Philly snow.Well hey, verbatim we're on the tail end of that stretch. I think 2017/18 will be the grand finale in this ongoing stretch of mild winters, or will feature a mid-winter regime flip to blocking. With the QBO finally cycling negative for the first time since 2014/15 and the solar minimum approaching, I like the chances for some blocking this year, even if we end up with +EPO dominance in the long run.

snow_wizard Posted November 27, 2019 Report Share Posted November 27, 2019 Nino 3.4 just had a pretty sharp drop back down to zero. Looks like Nino 4 dropped also. The subsurface mean is just a little bit above normal. Going to be a neutral winter as expected. I will say the SOI continues to be a puzzle. To look just at that you would think we are in a pretty major Nino. Now with the MJO in octant 2 the low SOI is really weird. Quote Death To Warm Anomalies! Winter 2023-24 stats Total Snowfall = 1.0" Day with 1" or more snow depth = 1 Total Hail = 0.0 Total Ice = 0.2 Coldest Low = 13 Lows 32 or below = 45 Highs 32 or below = 3 Lows 20 or below = 3 Highs 40 or below = 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
