HIGHLIGHT: The seasonal mean NINO3.4 anomaly was -0.6C for ASO2016, slightly down from JAS (-0.5).
NOTICE Huug van den Dool is going to retire by
12/31/2016. The constructed analogue based on global SST will continue. Please
direct questions to Peitao.Peng@noaa.gov
The CA method, acting on global JAS2016 seasonal means as latest input, but using a string of global SST going back one year, shows a modest cold for the rest of 2016. Many members are colder than -0.5 by late 2016, but none colder than -0.7. There are 7 (5) large +ve (-ve) weights in excess of abs(0.10), listed below.
Weights changed modestly from last month. The weight for 1998, in the aftermath of a previous big warm event is a large 0.22. The weight for 2015 (the string ending with ASO2015) is steady at +0.08. 2014 (a failed warm event of sort) still has a high weight. Some of the positive weight for 2013, 2014 and 2015 is non-ENSO, but interdecadal or global warming like, or OCN with K=3.
Table 1. Inner products (IP; scaled such that the sum of absolute values is 100; not shown) and weights (Wgt multiplied by 100.) of each of the years to construct an analogue to the sequence of 12 consecutive overlapping 3-month periods defined as the base (currently the 12 overlapping seasons string SON2015 thru ASO2016). Years in the table are labeled by the year of the middle month of the most recent predictor season. Weights for 1956 and 2015 are less (by 50%) because only half the members use these years ("early" members use 1956, "late" members 2015). Data currently thru Oct 2016.
