El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO)

  • Cycle involving changes

in sea surface temperatures (SSTs) and atmospheric pressures across the tropical Pacific

  • Impacts weather

patterns by altering the global atmospheric circulation

Monitoring and Classifying El Niño

  • Boxed area is called Niño 3.4 region,

which is used to classify ENSO events by NOAA

  • In El Niño, sea surface temperatures

are more than 0.5°C warmer than normal in the Niño 3.4 region

  • In La Niña, sea surface temperatures

are more than 0.5°C cooler than normal in the Niño 3.4 region

Current ENSO Situation

  • Water temperatures decreased some earlier this year, but have since

warmed again to 1.1°C warmer than normal, reaching weak to moderate El Niño levels

  • Large area of warmer than normal water remains below the surface

IRI/CPC ENSO Model Forecasts

  • Currently in weak El Niño
  • Models in good

agreement that weak El Niño will persist for at least the next few months

  • Average of models shows

weak El Niño persisting through the end of the year

  • No models show La Niña

ENSO Conclusions

  • El Niño conditions to persist for at least a few more months
  • Weak El Niño conditions most likely for summer
  • La Niña very unlikely for Northern Hemisphere growing season

Why it matters-El Niño precip correlation

  • Map shows typical

rainfall deviations during El Niño events

  • Nearly the opposite of

La Niña

  • Regional effects can

still overwhelm the El Niño signal, however
