        "response": "The ENSO update and outlook is: Mature cold episode (La Niña) conditions continued during January 2001, as sea surface temperatures (SSTs) remained more than 1.0°C below average across the central equatorial Pacific between the date line and 160°W. The SST anomaly pattern for January is similar to, but weaker than, the patterns observed during January 1999 and January 2000. The January patterns of anomalous 850-hPa zonal wind and precipitation also show remarkable similarity among the three years, with low-level easterly anomalies and below normal precipitation over the central and western equatorial Pacific.\n\nSince the demise of the 1997-98 El Niño, many ENSO indices have shown distinct annual cycles, with the northern winter seasons featuring minima in the SST, maxima in the OLR anomalies, and maxima in the low-level easterly winds over the central equatorial Pacific. The slope of the oceanic thermocline has been greater than normal throughout this period, with positive (negative) subsurface temperature anomalies in the west-central (eastern) equatorial Pacific. The strength of this anomalous subsurface pattern has also displayed an annual cycle since mid-1998. The evolution of the atmospheric and oceanic anomaly patterns since mid-1998 is similar to, but stronger than, that observed during 1984-1986, which followed the strong 1982-83 El Niño. During both of these post-strong El Niño periods the anomalous annual cycles were accompanied by an enhanced Australasian monsoon system.\n\nOver the past two years there has been a gradual expansion of the area of positive equatorial subsurface temperature anomalies into the central Pacific. This evolution is consistent with a slow decay of the subsurface thermal structure that characterizes the mature phase of cold episodes. It is likely that cold episode conditions will gradually weaken over the next several months, with near-normal conditions likely during the summer of 2001. Thereafter, near-normal or slightly warmer-than-normal conditions are expected during the second half of 2001.\n\nWetter-than-normal conditions are expected to prevail over Indonesia, northern Australia, Northeast Brazil and portions of southern Africa during the remainder of the NH winter. Over the United States warmer-than-normal conditions are expected along the southern tier of states from southern California eastward to Florida, while cooler-than-average conditions are likely over western and central Canada and in the upper Midwest and Great Lakes.",

        "response": "The ENSO update and outlook is: Cold episode (La Niña) conditions weakened during April 2001, as sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies trended toward 0°C throughout the tropical Pacific. However, the persistent pattern of stronger-than-normal low-level easterlies over the central equatorial Pacific continued during March-April 2001. Beginning in early February 2001, SSTs became anomalously warm in many sections of the eastern tropical Pacific, while remaining below normal in the central equatorial Pacific. Similar conditions were observed in the eastern equatorial Pacific during March-April 1999 and 2000. In both of those years the anomalous warming of the eastern equatorial Pacific SSTs lasted until late April or early May and then rapidly disappeared as cross-equatorial flow from the Southern Hemisphere into the Northern Hemisphere became established and seasonal rainfall began to increase over Central America, southern Mexico and the southeastern tropical North Pacific. As in the last two years, the positive SST anomalies rapidly dissipated during late April-early May 2001, as the low-level easterlies became anomalously strong over the eastern tropical Pacific.\n\nSince the demise of the 1997-98 El Niño, the northern winter seasons have featured minima in the SST, maxima in the OLR anomalies, and maxima in the low-level easterly winds over the central equatorial Pacific. The slope of the oceanic thermocline has been greater than normal throughout this period, with positive subsurface temperature anomalies in the west-central equatorial Pacific and negative subsurface temperature anomalies in the eastern equatorial Pacific. The strength of this anomalous subsurface pattern has also displayed an annual cycle since mid-1998. The evolution of the atmospheric and oceanic anomaly patterns since mid-1998 is similar to, but stronger than, that observed during 1984-1986, which followed the strong 1982-83 El Niño. During both of these post-strong El Niño periods the anomalous annual cycles were accompanied by an enhanced Australasian monsoon system.\n\nOver the past two years there has been a gradual expansion of the area of positive equatorial subsurface temperature anomalies into the central Pacific and a gradual decrease in the strength of the negative SST anomalies. It is likely that cold episode conditions will continue to weaken over the next few months, with near-normal conditions likely during the summer of 2001. Thereafter, near-normal or slightly warmer-than-normal conditions are expected during late 2001 and early 2002.",

Since February 2001 SSTs and SST anomalies have steadily increased in the central equatorial Pacific Niño 4 region rising to their highest levels since the 1997-98 warm (El Niño) episode. By late July equatorial SST anomalies between 0.5°C and 1°C were observed between 165°E and 135°W.\nOver the past two years there has been a gradual expansion of the area of positive equatorial subsurface temperature anomalies into the central Pacific and a gradual decrease in the strength and areal extent of the negative subsurface temperature anomalies in the eastern Pacific. This evolution is consistent with the decay of the subsurface thermal structure that characterizes the mature phase of cold episodes and the development of conditions usually found just prior to warm episodes. Accompanying this evolution has been a gradual transition from negative to positive SST anomalies between 160°E and 130°W.\nPositive SST anomalies are likely to continue in the equatorial Pacific during the remainder of 2001 and into the first half of 2002.

Since late June 2001 sea surface temperatures (SSTs) have become anomalously warm in the central equatorial Pacific, with anomalies near 1°C just to the west of the date line. During the same period, subsurface temperature anomalies have remained positive in the central equatorial Pacific between 160°E and 120°W, indicating a deeper-than-normal thermocline in that region.\n\nIn recent months, many tropical Pacific atmospheric and oceanic variables have been modulated by intraseasonal (30-60 day) fluctuations, associated with the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO). Low-level wind fluctuations over the central and western tropical Pacific have been consistent with this activity. A significant westerly wind burst occurred over the western equatorial Pacific during mid-October. This event resulted in additional deepening of the oceanic thermocline and an increase in subsurface temperature anomalies in the central equatorial Pacific by the end of the month.\n\nWeak warm or near-normal conditions are predicted for the equatorial Pacific during the remainder of 2001 and into the first half of 2002.

        "response": "The ENSO update and outlook is: Warm episode (El Niño) conditions will develop in the tropical Pacific during the next 3 months.\n\nThe evolution towards a warm episode in the tropical Pacific continued during January 2002. By late January equatorial SST anomalies exceeding +1°C were observed in the vicinity of the date line from 170° E to 160 °W. Warmer-than-normal subsurface waters continued to expand eastward beyond the date line during the month.\n\nIn recent months many tropical Pacific atmospheric and oceanic variables have been influenced by intraseasonal (30-60 day) fluctuations associated with the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO). Alternating periods of low-level easterly and westerly wind anomalies over the western and central Pacific have been consistent with this activity. December 2001 featured significant low-level westerly anomalies over the western and central equatorial Pacific. This activity generated a strong eastward propagating oceanic Kelvin wave that contributed to a deepening of the oceanic thermocline and warming of the sea-surface temperatures in the vicinity of the date line during January. Due to the ongoing Kelvin wave, an increase in subsurface temperature anomalies and SST anomalies is occurring in the eastern tropical Pacific. Localized warming of SSTs is expected along the coasts of Ecuador and Peru with the arrival of the ongoing Kelvin wave. This warming represents the early stages of El Niño development and that mature El Niño conditions will take several months to develop.\n\nStrong MJO activity observed over the Indian Ocean and west Pacific during late January may contribute to another period of westerly low-level wind anomalies over the central and western equatorial Pacific during February. This may be the impetus for additional Kelvin wave activity that could arrive in the eastern equatorial Pacific by late March.\n\nA spread from near-normal to moderate warm-episode conditions is predicted during the next 3-6 months.",

Sea surface temperature anomalies were up to 2°C warmer than average in the region between the Galapagos Islands and the South American coast, and greater than 1°C warmer than average immediately to the west of 180°W.\nAlthough there was considerable warming in the eastern equatorial Pacific during February-April, which resulted in locally heavy rainfall along the coasts of Ecuador and northern Peru, there was little change in SSTs or subsurface temperature anomalies in regions father west during this period. Consistent with this lack of evolution in the central equatorial Pacific, atmospheric indices for low-level winds, sea level pressure and precipitation continue to indicate near-normal conditions.\nAn eastward-propagating oceanic Kelvin wave, initiated by strong MJO activity in late 2001, resulted in the rapid warming that was observed along the coasts of Ecuador and northern Peru in early February. Since that time MJO activity has weakened and there has been no additional significant Kelvin wave activity. Without such activity a slow evolution towards El Niño conditions is possible through the remainder of 2002. A gradual warming is expected over the next several months, with weak-to-moderate El Niño conditions by the end of 2002. A weak or moderate El Niño would feature considerably weaker global impacts than were experienced during the very strong 1997-98 El Niño.",

As a consequence, drier-than-average conditions were observed over Indonesia and portions of Southeast Asia/ India during the month. In addition, the weaker-than-average easterly winds contributed to a deepening of the oceanic thermocline in the central equatorial Pacific, an increase in subsurface temperature anomalies, and an increase in SST anomalies in the central equatorial Pacific during July.\nWeak-to-moderate El Niño conditions are present. El Niño conditions are likely to continue through the end of 2002 and into early 2003. This warm episode will be much weaker than the 1997-98 El Niño. The global impacts of this warm episode should be correspondingly weaker than those observed during the very strong 1997-98 El Niño.\nDrier-than-average conditions are expected to continue over Indonesia and eastern Australia during the next several months, and wetter-than-average conditions over southeastern South America during the next three months.",

SST anomalies were greater than +1oC throughout most of the equatorial Pacific between 180oW and the South American coast, and SST anomalies exceeded +2oC between 175oW and 140oW. Positive subsurface temperature departures and a deeper-than-average oceanic thermocline prevailed throughout most of the equatorial Pacific. Atmospheric indicators of El Niño include consistently negative values of the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) since March 2002, and weaker-than-average low-level easterly winds since May 2002 throughout the equatorial Pacific. In addition, above-average precipitation has been observed over the tropical Pacific, especially in the vicinity of the date line (180oW) since August 2002, while drier-than-average conditions prevailed over many sections of Indonesia, India, Mexico and Central America. These oceanic and atmospheric conditions indicate the presence of El Niño.\n\nEl Niño conditions will continue through spring 2003. SST anomalies are expected to increase further in the eastern equatorial Pacific (Niño 3 and Niño 1+2 regions), with the establishment of basin-wide mature El Niño conditions during December 2002-February 2003. This event is expected to be weaker than the 1997-98 El Niño.\n\nExpected global impacts include drier-than-average conditions over Indonesia and eastern Australia continuing during the next several months, and wetter-than-average conditions over southeastern South America (Uruguay, northeastern Argentina, and southern Brazil) through the end of 2002. Drier-than-average conditions are expected over southeastern Africa during December 2002-February 2003.

Wetter-than-average conditions are expected along much of the southern tier of the U.S. during winter 2002-2003.

Significant deceases in SST anomalies occurred in all of the Niño regions during April and early May. By mid-May equatorial SSTs were near or below normal between 165°W and the South American coast, with only a small area of residual positive SST anomalies west of the date line between 155°E and 175°E.\nConsistent with the cooling trend in SSTs, the equatorial easterlies have been stronger than average over the central and west-central equatorial Pacific since late February, and the equatorial SOI has switched from negative to positive. In recent months the depth of the oceanic thermocline has steadily decreased across the central and eastern equatorial Pacific, and negative subsurface temperature departures have developed and intensified in the upper ocean of this region. By late-April subsurface temperatures at thermocline depth were below average throughout the eastern Pacific, with negative anomalies ranging between -1°C and -3°C. A transition to La Niña is underway and La Nina conditions are likely to develop over the next few months.\nSome forecasts indicate the possibility that La Niña will develop during the second half of 2003, while others indicate a resurgence of El Niño conditions by the end of the year.

During July very little net change was observed in the SST anomalies in the Niño regions. Since late May positive equatorial upper-ocean temperature departures have spread eastward into the central and eastern Pacific. This evolving subsurface pattern is associated with an eastward propagating oceanic Kelvin wave, resulting from a period of weaker-than-average easterlies in the central equatorial Pacific that occurred during late May and early June. SST anomalies in the Niño 3.4 and Niño 3 regions increased during early-June through early July, but then decreased during the last half of July, as the equatorial easterlies strengthened. Some atmospheric indices, such as the Tahiti-Darwin SOI, and central equatorial Pacific low-level (850-hPa) zonal wind and OLR, have displayed considerable month-to-month variability since May 2003 and no consistent trend towards either La Niña or El Niño.

        "response": "The ENSO update and outlook is: Equatorial surface and subsurface temperatures were warmer than average throughout most of the Pacific during October. SST anomalies greater than +0.5°C (~1°F) were observed in most areas along the equator between Indonesia and the South American coast. By the end of the month, positive SST anomalies were observed in all of the Niño regions. However, the 850-hPa zonal wind indices (central and western equatorial Pacific values near zero), OLR index (near zero), 200-hPa zonal wind index (near zero), SOI and EQSOI (near zero) all indicate ENSO-neutral conditions. These indices do not show any significant trends that would support either additional large-scale increases or decreases of SST anomalies in equatorial Pacific.\n\nNear neutral conditions (Niño 3.4 SST anomalies between -0.5°C and +0.5°C) are forecast for the remainder of 2003 and early 2004. If the observed Nino 3.4 SST anomaly for October 2003 (+0.6°C) persists through November, the three-month (September-November) running mean value of this index would reach the threshold (+0.5°C) for El Niño. Thus, it is likely that borderline El Niño/ ENSO-neutral conditions will persist in the equatorial Pacific through the Northern Hemisphere winter of 2003-04. Further evolution of warm-episode conditions is possible if persistent enhanced equatorial convection (cloudiness and rainfall) develops in the vicinity of the date line (180°W), accompanied by weaker-than-average equatorial low-level easterly winds over the central and western Pacific.",

        "response": "The ENSO update and outlook is: Sea surface temperatures remained warmer than average in the central and western equatorial Pacific and near average in the eastern equatorial Pacific during January. Equatorial ocean surface temperatures greater than +0.5°C above average were found between Indonesia and 165°W, and departures greater than +1°C were found between 160°E and 175°W. Since early December 2003, SST anomalies have decreased in all of the Niño regions. The monthly 850-hPa zonal wind indices, OLR index, 200-hPa zonal wind index, SOI and EQSOI have not shown any significant trends over the last few months that would support a transition to either El Niño or La Niña. However, many of these indices have exhibited considerable week-to-week variability since late November in response to tropical intraseasonal (Madden-Julian Oscillation) activity. Wetter-than-average conditions (enhanced convection) over the tropical Indian Ocean in late November, shifted eastward to the western Pacific by late December and into the central Pacific by early January. As the convective activity shifted eastward, the equatorial easterlies weakened over the western and central Pacific and westerlies developed near the date line (180°W). During the last half of January the equatorial easterlies intensified, becoming stronger than average over the central and western equatorial Pacific, as the convectively inactive phase of the MJO shifted eastward over the region. During late January the convectively active phase of the MJO was over the Indian Ocean. At the current rate of propagation, enhanced convection should shift into the western and central equatorial Pacific during February, accompanied by another period of weaker-than-average easterlies.\n\nThe weakening of the equatorial easterlies in late December 2003-early January 2004 initiated an eastward propagating oceanic Kelvin wave. This Kelvin wave is propagating eastward at about 8-10 degrees of longitude per week. At that rate, the Kelvin wave is expected to reach the vicinity of the west coast of South America around the end of February.\n\nNear neutral conditions are forecast in the tropical Pacific (Niño 3.4 SST anomalies between -0.5°C and +0.5°C) through March 2004.",

However, sea surface temperature anomalies in the equatorial Pacific increased during April 2004 in the Niño 3.4 and 4 regions, and decreased in the eastern Pacific (Niño 3 and 1+2 regions), as the equatorial cold tongue strengthened. By the end of the month, positive sea surface temperature anomalies greater than +0.5°C were observed in the region between Indonesia and 180°W, and negative anomalies (less than -2°C in some places) were observed between 120°W and the South American coast. Since January 2004 equatorial Pacific sea surface temperature anomalies have been largest in the western portion of the basin. This has resulted in an enhanced east-west gradient of sea surface temperature, which has been associated with stronger-than-average easterly winds over the central equatorial Pacific, enhanced precipitation over the western equatorial Pacific and a steeper-than-average thermocline slope in the central equatorial Pacific, as represented by positive (negative) subsurface temperature departures in the western (eastern) portion of the basin.\n\nENSO-neutral conditions will continue for the next 3 months (through July 2004).",

        "response": "The ENSO update and outlook is: El Niño conditions are expected to develop during the next 3 months.\n\nSea surface temperature anomalies increased substantially in the central equatorial Pacific (Niño 3.4 region) during July 2004, while anomalies greater than +0.5°C persisted in the Niño 4 region. The recent increase and eastward expansion of positive SST anomalies in the central equatorial Pacific indicate the possible early stages of a warm episode. SST anomalies greater than +0.5°C (~1°F) were found between 160°E and 120°W, with anomalies greater than +1°C extending from 180°W eastward to 125°W. In spite of the anomalous warmth in the central equatorial Pacific during July, there appears to be little or no reflection of that warmth in the pattern of deep convection (precipitation) over the region.\n\nConsiderable intraseasonal variability (MJO activity) in recent months has resulted in week-to-week and month-to-month variability in many atmospheric and oceanic indices. During mid-June through early July the easterlies weakened in many areas of the equatorial Pacific, as enhanced convection shifted eastward from the Indian Ocean to the western tropical Pacific. The greatest wind and convection anomalies occurred north of the equator in the western Pacific, associated with two typhoons. By mid-July the low-level winds and equatorial convection returned to near average in many areas of the equatorial Pacific. However, a strong oceanic Kelvin wave, initiated by the weaker-than-average easterly winds in June, has propagated eastward resulting in a substantial deepening of the oceanic thermocline and an increase in the subsurface temperature anomalies in the central and east-central equatorial Pacific. This Kelvin wave is expected to reach the South American coast during August.\n\nThere is about a 50% chance that El Niño conditions will be satisfied for the period June-August 2004. It seems most likely that SST anomalies in the Niño 3.4 region will remain positive, at or above +0.5°C, through the end of 2004. At this time it is not clear what, if any, impacts this event will have on ocean temperatures in the classical El Niño region (Niño 1+2) along the west coast of South America.\n\nNear neutral conditions in the tropical Pacific (Niño 3.4 SST anomalies between -0.5°C and +0.5°C) are forecast through the end of 2004. El Niño conditions (Niño 3.4 SST anomalies greater than or equal to +0.5°C) are also forecast to develop within the next 3-6 months.",

By early November, positive equatorial SST anomalies greater than +1°C (~2°F) were found from 160°E eastward to 150°W and locally in the area around 120°W. The increase and eastward expansion of the area of anomalous warmth in the central and east-central equatorial Pacific during July-October indicates the early stages of a warm (El Niño) episode.\nSince late 2003 MJO activity has resulted in week-to-week and month-to-month variability. In the past few months the warmth in the central equatorial Pacific has supported eastward shifts of enhanced convection associated with the convectively active phase of the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) across the western equatorial Pacific. This activity has been associated with periods of weaker-than-average easterlies that initiated eastward-propagating oceanic Kelvin waves. This intraseasonal variability has been superposed on an upward trend in SST anomalies east of the date line and a gradual increase in the upper-ocean heat content during the last year. Warm episode (El Niño) conditions will persist through early 2005.\nExpected global impacts include drier-than-average conditions over Indonesia (through early 2005), northern and northeastern Australia (November 2004-February 2005), and southeastern Africa (November 2004-March 2005). If the warming in the tropical Pacific strengthens and spreads eastward to the South American coast, then wetter-than-average conditions would be expected in coastal sections of Ecuador and northern Peru during the first few months of 2005, and drier-than-average conditions would be expected to develop in the eastern Amazon late this year and spread to Northeast Brazil during February through April 2005.\nThe current warming in the tropical Pacific is expected to continue through the upcoming winter. Warmer-than-average conditions are expected in the West and in the northern Plains, while cooler and wetter-than-average conditions are expected for portions of the South and Southeast.",

Sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies increased by more than 2°C in the extreme eastern equatorial Pacific during April, and by the end of the month, positive equatorial SST anomalies greater than +0.5°C (~0.9°F) were observed in most areas from Indonesia eastward to the South American coast. The increase in SST anomalies in the eastern equatorial Pacific during April was reflected by an increase in the SST anomalies in the Niño 3 and Niño 1+2 regions and by an increase in the upper-ocean heat content in the eastern half of the equatorial Pacific. Subsurface cooling and a decrease in upper-ocean heat content have been evident in the central equatorial Pacific, associated with the upwelling phase of the Kelvin wave.

Thus, the effects of the warming along the west coast of South America should be brief.\n\nCloudiness, precipitation and low-level winds displayed considerable week-to-week variability during the month, associated with strong MJO activity. During the first ten days of April enhanced precipitation was observed over Indonesia, while stronger-than-average easterlies prevailed over the central equatorial Pacific. The enhanced precipitation moved eastward into the western tropical Pacific during mid-April, accompanied by anomalous westerly low-level winds over the extreme western equatorial Pacific. However, during the last ten days of April the low-level wind anomalies weakened over the central equatorial Pacific and drier-than-average conditions developed over Indonesia. Continued strong week-to-week variability in the patterns of tropical atmospheric circulation and precipitation is likely during May.\n\nENSO-neutral conditions will prevail during the northern summer (June-August). The forecast becomes increasingly uncertain during the last half of 2005.",

Stronger-than-average low-level (850-hPa) easterly winds persisted over the central equatorial Pacific, and anomalous upper-level (200-hPa) cyclonic circulation centers were observed in both hemispheres. These patterns are similar to those observed during previous La Niña episodes. Cooler conditions are forecasted for the tropical Pacific through mid-2006. Stronger-than-average easterly winds over the central equatorial Pacific and recent cooling trends in observed oceanic conditions support continuation of La Nina conditions in the tropical Pacific during the next 3-6 months.\n\nWetter-than-normal conditions are expected to prevail over Indonesia/Philippines and drier-than-normal conditions over the central equatorial Pacific during the remainder of the NH winter. That pattern of tropical precipitation favors a northward shift in the position of the jet stream over the eastern North Pacific during winter, which is usually accompanied by drier-than-normal conditions over southern California and Arizona. The recent patterns of anomalous temperature and precipitation for the United States are similar to wintertime patterns observed during previous La Niña episodes, except for temperature over the northern Plains and in the Pacific Northwest, which are normally colder than average.",

Also, the upper-ocean heat content in the central and east-central equatorial Pacific remained below-average, but the magnitude of the departures continued to exhibit intraseasonal fluctuations.

Atmospheric and oceanic indicators were mixed, with certain areas in the equatorial Pacific Ocean suggesting a lingering influence of La Niña and others reflecting an increase in above-average temperatures, particularly in the eastern Pacific.\n\nFrom west to east, the latest weekly SST index values range from −0.3°C in the Niño-4 region to +0.9°C in the Niño 1+2 region. The subsurface oceanic heat content has also increased in response to positive temperature anomalies along the thermocline. However, a weak, shallow region of below-average temperatures still remains near the International Date Line.\n\nThe atmospheric circulation over the western and central tropical Pacific continues to reflect some aspects of La Niña. Enhanced low-level easterly winds and upper-level westerly winds persist in this region, while convection remains generally suppressed over the central Pacific. In contrast, the eastern equatorial Pacific features weak-to-average low-level easterly winds and average precipitation. Despite recent increases in SST anomalies, the actual SSTs are not warm enough to support convection.\n\nENSO-neutral conditions will continue into the Northern Hemisphere Spring 2009. However, due to the positive heat content anomalies in the Pacific Ocean, the development of El Niño cannot be ruled out during the later part of the year, although chances remain low.

The latest weekly SST index values were near-average in all Niño regions except for Niño-1+2 (−0.8°C). Subsurface oceanic heat content anomalies became less negative due to the eastward shift of positive temperature anomalies at thermocline depth to ~160°W, but anomalies remained negative in the eastern half of the Pacific.\n\nThe atmospheric winds and convection patterns exhibited a high degree of week-to-week variability across the tropical Pacific during October in response to the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO). The cumulative effects of the MJO were above-average convection over Indonesia, and enhanced low-level easterly winds, enhanced upper-level westerly winds, and suppressed convection over the western equatorial Pacific. Overall, the ocean-atmosphere system remains consistent with ENSO-neutral conditions.\n\nENSO-neutral conditions (−0.5°C to 0.5°C in the Niño-3.4 region) are forecast to continue into the first half of 2009. A La Niña may develop during Northern Hemisphere Winter 2008-09. This outcome becomes more likely if the current MJO were to stall in a location that favors enhanced low-level easterlies and increased upwelling in the east-central and eastern Pacific.

        "response": "The ENSO update and outlook is: El Niño is expected to continue at least into the Northern Hemisphere spring 2010.\nA significant El Niño persisted throughout the equatorial Pacific Ocean during January 2010. Although sea surface temperature (SST) departures in the Niño-3.4 region decreased to +1.2°C in late January, SSTs continued to be sufficiently warm to support deep tropical convection. Equatorial convection over the central Pacific remained enhanced during the month, while convection over Indonesia exhibited considerable week-to-week variability. Low-level westerly and upper-level easterly wind anomalies generally prevailed during January.\nDecreasing SST anomalies in the Niño-3.4 region are predicted through 2010. The 3-month Niño-3.4 SST anomaly will drop below +0.5°C around April-May-June 2010, indicating a transition to ENSO-neutral conditions during Northern Hemisphere spring.\nEl Niño impacts are expected to last into the Northern Hemisphere spring, even as equatorial SST departures decrease. Expected impacts during February-April 2010 include drier-than-average conditions over Indonesia and enhanced convection over the central equatorial Pacific Ocean, which will likely expand eastward and influence portions of the eastern tropical Pacific, as well as coastal sections of Peru and Ecuador. For the contiguous United States, potential El Niño impacts include above-average precipitation for the southern tier of the country, with below-average precipitation in the Pacific Northwest and Ohio Valley. Below-average snowfall and above-average temperatures are most likely across the northern tier of states (excluding New England), while below-average temperatures are favored for the south-central and southeastern states.",

However, SST anomalies still exceeded +0.5°C across most of the Pacific at the end of the month. Since the end of February, subsurface heat content anomalies have decreased steadily in association with the expansion and strengthening of below-average temperatures at depth (25-200m). Also, enhanced convection developed over Indonesia, while suppressed convection strengthened and expanded over the tropical Pacific, south of the equator. The low-level equatorial trade winds remained near-average, and anomalous upper-level westerly winds prevailed over the central Pacific during much of April. Collectively, these oceanic and atmospheric anomalies reflect a weakening El Niño.\n\nDecreasing SST anomalies in the Niño-3.4 region are predicted through the Northern Hemisphere summer 2010. A transition to ENSO-neutral conditions is predicted during April-June 2010, followed by ENSO-neutral conditions through the end of the year. However, by July-September 2010, there is a possibility of the onset of La Niña conditions. ENSO-neutral conditions are most likely during the second half of the year, but there is a tendency toward increasingly negative SST anomalies in the Niño-3.4 region. There is a growing possibility of La Niña developing during the second half of 2010.",

All of the Niño indices decreased with values less than -1.0°C in Niño 1+2, 3, and 3.4 regions at the end of the month. The subsurface heat content continued to reflect a deep layer of below-average temperatures east of the Date Line. Also convection was enhanced over Indonesia, while remaining suppressed over the western and central tropical Pacific. Enhanced low-level easterly trade winds and anomalous upper-level westerly winds continued over the western and central equatorial Pacific. Collectively, these oceanic and atmospheric anomalies reflect the development and strengthening of La Niña conditions.\n\nLa Niña is predicted to continue through early 2011. There is disagreement over the eventual strength of La Niña. A moderate-to-strong La Niña is predicted, while some forecasts indicate a weaker episode. Given the strong cooling observed over the last several months and the apparent ocean-atmosphere coupling, a moderate-to-strong episode is favored at this time. Therefore, La Niña conditions are expected to strengthen and last through Northern Hemisphere Winter 2010-11.\n\nExpected La Niña impacts during August-October 2010 include suppressed convection over the central tropical Pacific Ocean, and enhanced convection over Indonesia. Temperature and precipitation impacts over the United States are typically weak during the Northern Hemisphere summer and early fall, but strengthen considerably during late fall and winter. Also, La Niña can contribute to increased Atlantic hurricane activity by decreasing the vertical wind shear over the Caribbean Sea and tropical Atlantic Ocean.",
