We could possibly be looking at weekly negative SST anomalies that support La Nina conditions by months end.

Yes Jim.It's impressive how fast those cool anomalies are expanding.

Jim,
Could you explain just a little what you mean by the possible La Nina having almost everything going for it? I'm sure you are aware that for most of the winter, the AO/NAO has been positive and stratosphere has experienced negative temp anomalies. How exactly is this favorable for future La Nina development? Is this somehow coupled with the space weather? What kind of space/stratosphere weather would most favor La Nina later on? I'm trying to figure out what methodology you are using and am failing. Thanks!

Benny,

I have posted numerous discussions over the years within places like this and I have never made a dime from any of this. Nor from weather forecasting. There are a couple of things that I am going to keep to myself from now on in hopes of doing something with all of this one day.

Might I suggest that you read up on Theodor Landscheidt's work about the solar effect upon the EL Nino. If you combine some of this with the understanding of the solar dynamo and what space weather possibly forces it becomes slightly more clear.

Of course you need to understand the earth's climate system from the SST's up to the stratosphere. These have always been the areas that I have concentrated on. I did this because they were poorly understood environments when I first started researching.

Space weather and the stratosphere still lack a strong following or understanding and this forum's policies just prove my point.

We all know about the space weather rules in regards to this particular forum but I posted a link about the stratosphere some time back and it got moved to the global weather forum. Would an MJO topic get moved? It's a global player. So this boat does not float with me.

Anyone who thinks that the stratosphere does not play a role in the tropics is either in denial or poorly educated.

An example. I have read where some research has pointed toward a convection increase in the southern hemisphere ITCZ after a SSW at the north pole.

The POAMA model continues to turn to Neutral-La Nina area as time goes by and it's doing so rapidly.

just a question should be be displaying images directly from those sites?

wouldn't it be using up their bandwidth

I just worry they may take it off thats all :?:

I agree about that.I haved posted graphics here but from now on those will be posted by links or hypertexts to conserve bandwidth on this site.I encourage the members to do the same.

SSW stands for a sudden stratospheric warming.

Is it to early to tell what kind of affect this will have on hurricane season?

Those graphics I posted were uploaded to Imageshack via the link in the posting window.. thus no bandwith to them and minimal with just thumbnails for us.. Another great feature Chad has added to the board.. 8-)

Well some opions may be stronger than others but likely an active season ahead. How many landfalls is always up in the air.. no pun intended.

2006 NOAA article..

http://www.noaanews.noaa.gov/stories2006/s2572.htm

Typically, La Niña events favor increased Atlantic hurricane activity, however, Jim Laver, director of the NOAA Climate Prediction Center says, "It is too early to say with confidence what effects this La Niña event will have on the 2006 hurricane season."

Mean temperature -0.55 -0.46 -0.36 -0.31 -0.23 -0.20 -0.19
Model cool frequency (< –0.8°C) 19.5% 13.2% 11.6% 15.7% 9.2% 19.5% 15.8%
Model neutral frequency 80.5% 86.8% 85.5% 81.0% 87.4% 77.2% 78.4%
Model warm frequency (> +0.8°C) 0.0% 0.0% 2.9% 3.3% 3.3% 3.3% 5.8%
NB: "warm" is defined as an exceedance of +0.8°C, while "cool" is defined as falling below –0.8°C.

The above is the POAMA model by the numbers in terms of how this model forecasts how El Nino,Neutral and La Nina conditions will be thru September.As you can see almost the warm ENSO does not appear,while Neutral conditions are with the most percent with La Nina a distant second in the percents.

Above is the 1/28/07 update of the subsurface waters,wow,those blue waters are more prominent now and they keep growing.

Let's see what CPC (Climate Prediction Center) says tommorow in it's febuary update.I suspect they they will narrow the timeframe for El Nino.The January update had El Nino Thru May.

The cooling in the models is getting faster and faster. A La Niña scenario is more likely day after day of runs.

I would not be surprised to see a Pacific in La Niña mode by April or May.

The January OHC hard numbers show the subsurface cooling as well. The subsurface area between 180W-100W is now at -.43

The November to Janaury drop has only been stronger on two occassions. They were between 11/82-1/83 and 11/97-1/98. We saw a weak La Nina and a strong La Nina follow these sharp January changes.

A big change from the January update when they said El Nino would linger thru May.They now are catching up with the Australians in terms of being Neutral ENSO by spring.
