Goodbye La Nina!

Well, that is NOAA's prediction, and they have done far better on prediction than you have, Silly Billy. Tell me, are you again going to deny an El Nino, even when we are in the hottest part? That was such a hoot.

The forecast is a WEAK El-Nino, possibly a MODOKI type.

LOL Now that sounds familiar. Wonder why? LOL

The chart goes to a 1 on the midline, with the upper outlier going to a 2. Of course, the lower outlier is that we are still in a neutral Enso in JFM.

Do you know what a MODOKI is?
 
Clear from my one word on the subject? LOL Folks we have a psychic here. LOL

Well it is clear you don't study much, since you STILL don't know what a Modoki event is,

From JAMSTEC

The El Niño Modoki

"El Niño Modoki is a coupled ocean-atmosphere phenomenon in the tropical Pacific. It is different from another coupled phenomenon in the tropical Pacific namely, El Niño. Conventional El Niño is characterized by strong anomalous warming in the eastern equatorial Pacific (see figure below). Whereas, El Niño Modoki is associated with strong anomalous warming in the central tropical Pacific and cooling in the eastern and western tropical Pacific (see figure below). Associated with this distinct warming and cooling patterns the teleconnections are very different from teleconnection patterns of the conventional El Niño. Hence, the new phenomenon is of interest to the climate community."

It produces a very different weather effect than what a standard El-Nino produces, and less warming too.

Notice that Old Rocks doesn't have much to say on this lately while ignoring the part where I didn't dispute that La Nina is fading, even brought up the Modoki event that appears to be brewing.

old rocks few words,

"Yes."

"OK, then we shall discuss this about a year from now. I do think that the up coming El Nino will put you in the same category as Silly Billy."

"Clear from my one word on the subject? LOL Folks we have a psychic here. LOL"

"And?"

Meanwhile I make clear that I am looking for a MODOKI El-Nino effect,

"The forecast is a WEAK El-Nino, possibly a MODOKI type."

and,

"Then you should know that warming will be limited."

I think you have done enough here to show you are lacking a rational argument. I didn't dispute that some kind of El-Nino is coming, but suggesting that this time it will be a MODOKI type. You come back with bullcrap and evasions to what I am talking about.

except silly socks, the weather patterns in middle america haven't changed. we are still cycling between warm and cold. until that stops, el nino ain't coming.

The oscillations associated with MODOKI have already started. Its still up in the air if this will break nominal positive ranges. This thing is shaping up to be a non-starter as the La Niña pattern persists which will pull cold over the NH early this year.
