Most models (19/23) are predicting La Nina conditions developing over
the Austral winter, but 40% of the models are going for a fairly quick return to ENSO neutral conditions by the Boreal winter. A typical sharp change in tha ENSO state, followed by a fairly short-lived, no more than moderate La Nina is the current model consensus. It will be very interesting to see how far global temperatures dip towards Christmas. •ENSO-neutral conditions are present across the equatorial Pacific. •Sea surface temperatures continue to decrease across much of the Pacific Ocean. •Conditions are favorable for a transition to La Niña conditions during June-August 2010. http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/product...-fcsts-web.pdf |

A "wrap-up" from the Aussie BOM too: "Trend towards La Niña continues. Issued on Wednesday 7 July 2010 | Product Code IDCKGEWWOO Sea surface temperatures in the central equatorial Pacific have continued to cool over the past fortnight, and hence the tropical Pacific is now generally cooler than average east of the date-line. Below the surface, temperatures also remain significantly cooler than average, with some areas more than 4°C cooler than normal. Trade winds in the western Pacific remain stronger than normal and cloudiness near the date-line continues to be suppressed. These indicators, together with the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI), which has been positive since April, are consistent with the developing stages of a La Niña event. The majority of climate models surveyed by the Bureau suggest current patterns and trends will continue, with a significant likelihood of further ocean cooling beyond La Niña thresholds before the end of the southern winter. Historically, about 35 to 40% of El Niño events (such as occurred in 2009/10) are followed by a La Niña within the same year. The combination of current trends and model outlooks suggest the chance of a La Niña in 2010 is now clearly more likely than not." http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/enso/ |
