Default Monday ENSO update from NOAA + Aussie BOM. La Nina conditions.

Monday update from NOAA.

•La Niña is present across the equatorial Pacific.
•Negative sea surface temperature anomalies persist across much of the
Pacific Ocean.
•La Niña is expected to last at least through the Northern Hemisphere
winter 2010-11.

The model predictions are mainly for a moderate to deep La Nina.
Temperatures in most Nina areas and especially in Nina 3.4, are almost
as cool as the 2008 La Nina already (slide 25 and Aussie BOM update
from last Wed) and most models are going for a strengthening of the
current La Nina conditions over the next few months.

It is also 9 clear months since the last El Nino peaked and we have
now had 9 months of Pacific cooling which has not been reflected in
significant cooling in the globe, with all 9 months together producing
a record breaking warm start to a calendar year and the last 16 months
being the warmest on record. Why?

Just for Lawrence, yesterday may well have been cooler than the day
before....., so GC has obviously stopped again. *))
