Description
Summary:– NOAA/NCEP Climate Forecast System (CFS) suggests that the current La Niña is in a decay phase, and ENSO will be near neutral by May 2011. – PDO has been negative since Jun 2010, and weakened slightly since Jan 2011 with PDO index=-1.04 in Apr 2011, consistent with La Nina evolution. – Anomalous upwelling observed along the west coast of North America in Apr 2011, which might not be the dominant factor contributing to the below-normal nutrient supply in this month. – Artic sea ice extent was still well below normal in Apr 2011.
