stuffradio Posted October 1, 2016 Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 CFSv2 is pretty cool up and down most of the BC coast for Nov. It shows above normal temps starting in SW BC though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snow_wizard Posted October 1, 2016 Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 October is certainly starting out on a good note. I'm hoping for a mix of GOA blocking and cool zonal flow to dominate the month. Quote Death To Warm Anomalies!

snow_wizard Posted October 1, 2016 Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 Good news!http://cliffmass.blogspot.ca/2016/10/a-weakening-blob.html I disagree about it being totally good news. We want a warm pool over the GOA, because it one of the requirements for a minus PDO. Also persistent high pressure over the GOA is a big player in many of our big winters. I still think the overall persistence of the anomalous GOA ridge this summer and early autumn is a good sign it will make an appearance for part of the winter. 1 Quote Death To Warm Anomalies!

Phil Posted October 1, 2016 Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 Funny to see 1997/98 still showing up as an analog. Typical Niña cells are displaced so far west they're starting to resemble an east-based Niño setup.

Phil Posted October 1, 2016 Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 Deep NPAC/GOA troughing is a classic component of a Niño regime, where subsidence dominates the IO/MT domain. This is fairly straightforward stuff, in my opinion.

Phil Posted October 1, 2016 Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 Just to elaborate on this, here's the week2 VP200 forecast from the GEFS, and the corresponding 10m zonal wind anomalies. Note the westerly winds over th Equatorial Pacific, corresponding to the EHEM subsidence, in conjunction with convective forcing dominating out of the WHEM. Though not really a "classic" ENSO cell of any kind, it's definitely closer to an east-based Niño than a west-based Niña.
