Description
Summary:– Some models, including CFSv1 and CFSv2 predicted moderate to strong La Nina conditions in the Northern Hemisphere winter. – Negative PDO persisted, with PDOI=-1.9 in Sep 2011. – Both CFSv1 and CFSv2 predicted the negative phase of PDO would last through the Northern Hemisphere winter and spring. Indian Ocean – Easterly wind anomalies have persisted in the east-central tropical Indian Ocean since May 2011, and positive IOD conditions emerged with DMI=0.75oC in Sep 2011.
