Well with the 2008-2009 winter coming to an end within the next 2-3 weeks...My focus has shifted to next winter 2009-2010...
I am calling for a Weak El Nino Winter...possibly gaining strength to a moderate to strong by the end of the winter season but not completely sold on that idea however. As you can see this is the jet stream depicted in a typical el nino winter

You guys are underestimating next year's El Nino. That El Nino is going to be ballin next year. I expect a Moderate to Strong next winter and possibly for 2010-2011 winter.
PS: How am I going to say 2010-2011. It's not like this year where I can say '09. Would I say 010 or 10 or 2010 or 20/10 -------------------- NW Ohio's First Poster

Winter outlooks are produced and create by one individual which is myself and at the moment I am only considering a weak el nino with the possibility of it becoming stronger... This past winter season I had called for a neutral enso with a weak la nina type lingering effects and that appears to have been the correct call. So this winter ahead i am forging forward with the weak el nino with the possibility of it trending stronger as winter comes closer to an end.... |

I will not argue with you Matt.
 I am not touching this until at least September. I'd like to enjoy the spring and summer first. I'll have to research weak El Nino's for the NYC area. |

when do you see this el nino to start cranking? Will it begin during the summer or not until later in fall or winter?

The weak la nina/neutral atmosphere will continue to lose its grip thru the spring...at which time I believe the transition will start to take place, shortly there after spring. More then likely the el nino will start to develop by mid -late summer... |

more snow for the snow drought DC area? Does this mean the whole winter will be more favorable for snow or just a portion?

It's hard to speculate what will happen 9 months from now.
The quasi-stationary La-Nina base state we are in has high resemblance towards last year's strong La-Nina. The SSW's that have caused this stationary La-Nina base are returning to normal.
image004.jpg ( 37.52K )
Number of downloads: 3GLAAM well entrenched in octants 2-3 of the GWO phase space, with octant 3 being La-Nina base state.
image002.jpg ( 32.52K )
Number of downloads: 2Similar analogs are last year's La-Nina. Drought conditions won't get any better for at the very least early spring in areas that are currently receiving little precip. "The WB (2009) measure of the GWO during the last 40 days has ~2 sigma displacement toward octants 2-3 of phase space, essentially the La-Nina attractor. Not wanting to get too involved with the details of the current earth-atmosphere AAM budget (see plots), I think there may be another equilibrium "of sorts" of physical processes going on. For instance, the global frictional torque has recently spiked to ~plus 20 Hadleys, with most of that coming from enhanced trades. A portion of the latter may be coming from zonal mean negative AAM anomalies being brought down to the surface via mass circulations (enhancement of the Hadley cell; see earth AAM). In any case, this is an example of the atmosphere trying to get out of La-Nina, analogous to recent stimulus packages attempting to halt economic recession.
image004.jpg ( 43.23K )
Number of downloads: 0There has also been an abrupt poleward shift of zonal mean AAM transport from ~35N to 50N, with a weak subtropical source. The latter is not good news for Northern Hemispheric locations experiencing drought." Much of this information is coming from the link below, I just added in the graphics. Source We all know that La-Nina comes in stages, usually of 2-3 years with each year it becomes progressively weaker. This year that La-Nina base state was at the same strength as last years. Had it not been for Rossby Wave Dispersion coming up from the troposphere into the stratosphere that disrupted the mean flow of the winds in the stratospheric Arctic, we would be seeing that blowtorch effect that La-Nina normally produces. It is for these reasons that I am calling for a moderate to weak LA-NINA for the winter of 2009-2010 as my preliminary thoughts.
image004.jpg ( 26.74K )
Number of downloads: 1Fairly similar pattern next year as there was this year with the splitting of the Polar and Pacific Jets over the Pacific Ocean for most of the winter. Dominant northern branch will lead to mostly Miller B opportunities for the MA/NE and some GLC (yes Carlos, I'm re-opening the business). Temperatures will be about average to below average in December, and the begin to go above average by January and February.

Number of downloads: 2Nino regions 4 - 3.4 - 3 are below average, but are getting warmer, Nino regions 1 +2 are above average by a little. Expecting these to come back down below average over the next few weeks. -------------------- The only way of finding the limits of the possible is by going beyond them into the impossible. ~Arthur C Clarke

That was 9 months in advance. So this year i decided to come out with my seasonal outlook when I normally would make and issue it. I am not going to reveal the hows of how I come to the conclusions that I have and do. I am using the words El Nino because that is what i see the winter of 2009-2010 as being .... |
