Last week I noted “El Niño-driven sea surface temperatures are soaring. Forecast: Hot and then even hotter.” They are still soaring. NOAA’s National Weather Service Climate Prediction Center has a good animation of tropical Pacific SST anomalies: The warming in the Nino 3.4 region of the Pacific is typically used to [...]

Last week I noted that the weak El Niño appears to be strengthening, as expected, so record temperatures will continue. The warming in the Nino 3.4 region of the Pacific is typically used to define an El Niño — sustained postive sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies of greater than 0.5°C across the central tropical Pacific Ocean. After [...]

Two weeks ago I blogged that NASA reports hottest June to September on record; NOAA says “weak” El Niño “expected to strengthen and last through” winter . NOAA’s National Weather Service Climate Prediction Center (and most other models) have been predicting for a couple of months that the weak El Niño would strengthen, but it hasn’t. Until now, that is. This sea surface temperature (SST)...

PhysOrg.com : Climate models that predict heavy rainfall don’t give the whole picture, according to the results of a study by NWO (Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research) scientist Martin Ziegler. He examined climate changes that have taken place over the past 800,000 years, and discovered that the melting icebergs in the North Atlantic and changes in the El Niño Southern...

... them. The reason 1998 was so anomalously warm even beyond the human-caused trend was the uber-El Niño. Back in January, NASA had predicted : “Given our expectation of the next El Niño beginning in 2009 or 2010, it still seems likely that a new global temperature record will be set within the next 1-2 years, despite the moderate negative effect of the reduced solar irradiance.” Then,...
