NOAA’s CFSv2 ensembles now predicts a peak sea surface temperature anomaly in the range of 2.5 degrees Celsius above average to 3.1 degrees Celsius above average. An El Nino of this strength would be significantly stronger than the monster event of 1998. One that would occur in a global context that includes an approximate 45 parts per million CO2e worth of heat trapping gas accumulation since that time. One that is now in the range of 1 C warming above 1880s averages (or 1/4th the difference between now and the last ice age, but on the side of hot).<br /><br />Since we are now well past the spring predictability barrier, these new model runs have a higher potential accuracy. That said, we are still four months out and a number of additional factors would have to come into play to lock in such a powerful event. However, the trend is still for a strong to extraordinarily powerful El Nino. And since such an event is occurring in a record warm atmosphere and ocean environment (due to human-caused climate change), the continued potential for related additional anomalous weather events (drought, flood, wildfires, extreme tropical cyclones in the Pacific, etc) is also high enough to remain a serious concern.<br /><br />Tom<br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4388504906915444063.post-2647178314525751672015-07-02T15:37:31.170-05:002015-07-02T15:37:31.170-05:00Taxi driver catches hovering UFO on video in Aigbu...Taxi driver catches hovering UFO on video in Aigburth, England<br />http://www.sott.net/article/298583-Taxi-driver-catches-hovering-UFO-on-video-in-Aigburth-England<br /><br />Russian epidemiologists find link between Ebola, Hepatitis B<br />http://www.sott.net/article/298574-Russian-epidemiologists-find-link-between-Ebola-Hepatitis-B<br /><br />TomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4388504906915444063.post-91223124956585469582015-07-02T13:45:46.315-05:002015-07-02T13:45:46.315-05:00Texas Farmer Killed After Tractor Disturbs Bee Hiv...Texas Farmer Killed After Tractor Disturbs Bee Hive<br />http://news.yahoo.com/texas-farmer-killed-tractor-disturbs-bee-hive-213048124--abc-news-topstories.html<br /><br />Rogerio Zuniga was on his tractor in Lozano, Texas on Sunday when he hit an 18-inch diameter pipe enraging the bees inside.<br /><br />Dolphin leaps onto boat, injuring California woman<br />http://news.yahoo.com/dolphin-leaps-onto-boat-injuring-california-woman-164040568.html<br /><br />Boy bitten by shark off South Carolina coast<br />http://www.cbsnews.com/news/boy-bitten-by-shark-off-south-carolina-coast/<br /><br />Smoke From Canadian Wildfires Is Pouring Into the US Like a River<br />http://io9.com/smoke-from-canadian-wildfires-is-pouring-into-the-us-li-1715133672<br /><br />Eruption Update: Quake Swarms Hit Iceland, Japan Rumbles<br />http://www.wired.com/2015/07/eruption-update-explosions-hakone-fuego-swarm-off-iceland/<br /><br />Former Boston Herald editor injured in North Carolina shark attack<br />http://www.foxnews.com/us/2015/07/02/former-boston-editor-injured-in-north-carolina-shark-attack/<br /><br />[#9]<br /><br />Dozens of gulls found dead on road in Kuna, South Dakota<br />http://www.sott.net/article/298571-Dozens-of-gulls-found-dead-on-road-in-Kuna-South-Dakota<br /><br /> It's unclear how many total birds have died.<br /><br />The birds found dead show no signs of physical injury and were not sickened by plague<br /><br />Huge sinkhole closes Runnymede Road in Toronto<br />http://www.sott.net/article/298561-Huge-sinkhole-closes-Runnymede-Road-in-Toronto<br /><br />London breaks U.K. July heat record; long-lasting Europe heat wave expands<br />http://www.sott.net/article/298558-London-breaks-U-K-July-heat-record-long-lasting-Europe-heat-wave-expands<br /><br />[Watch what happens next winter - it will probably be extreme in the opposite direction.]<br /><br />Tom<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4388504906915444063.post-77088552598839267972015-07-02T07:15:25.587-05:002015-07-02T07:15:25.587-05:00Wonderful synopsis of the "new normal," ...Wonderful synopsis of the "new normal," Jonny!
