Description
Summary:expected to continue into early 2009. – Typical La Nina signals presented in the tropical convection, atmospheric circulations, surface ocean currents and subsurface ocean temperature. – Negative PDO SST pattern continued in North Pacific. – Extremely strong upwelling has transitioned the climatological downwelling into upwelling along most of the west coast of North America in Dec 08. • Indian Ocean – Positive SST anomalies covered most of the extra-tropical Indian ocean. – The tropical Indian Ocean SSTs are close to normal.
