Tisdale on IPCC Models Versus Sea Surface Temperature Observations During The Recent Warming Period
Guest post by Bob Tisdale OVERVIEW This post compares satellite-based Sea Surface Temperature (SST) anomalies to the hindcasts and projections of the multi-model mean of CMIP3 models. CMIP3 is the…
Frank Lansner on Foster and Rahmstorf 2011
This is a repost from Lansner’s website, since Tamino aka Grant Foster won’t allow it to be discussed on his own website, I thought I’d give a forum for discussion…
CSU's Klotzbach and Gray Suspend December Hurricane Forecast
UPDATE: note to readers, Gray and Klotzbach are only discontinuing December forecasts for the season ahead due to limited predictive skill — for the time being. A main reason is…

The Texas ENSO Bassmaster Classic
A bit of a tiff developed over at Dr. Roger Pielke’s place over disagreements on the recent Texas heatwave being attributed to AGW or to ENSO. Bob Tisdale has something…
Mid-October 2011 SST Anomaly Update
by Bob Tisdale NINO3.4 NINO3.4 Sea Surface Temperature (SST) anomalies (a commonly used El Niño-Southern Oscillation Index) are still hovering within weak La Niña range. For the week centered on…
NCEP ensemble forecast shows deep La Niña coming
We know that we are currently in a La Niña pattern by the various maps and graphs we have on the WUWT ENSO page, for example this one: But have…
Plants gobbling up CO2 – 45% more than thought
From the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centres a clear indication for those “CO2 is plant food” scoffers that the plants don’t care what they think. Productivity of land plants…
Where is Science?
Guest post by Erl Happ The Southern Oscillation Index is a reference point for the strength of the Trade winds. It represents the difference in atmospheric pressure between Tahiti and…
Climate clam chowder has a spicy ENSO rhythm from an old recipe
From the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research comes word that the climate varied before, just like it does today, and we won’t be stuck with a permanent…
A Layman's Paper: Pneumatic Effects on Thermohaline Flow
Guest post by Caleb Shaw Possible links between thermohaline circulation and the ENSO cycle were suggested by Bill Grey as early as the late 1970’s. I became interested in this…
A Note Regarding The NOAA ENSO Meter
UPDATE: Ric Werme is graciously producing a new updated meter for the WUWT sidebar, see comments. – Anthony by Bob Tisdale There have been a number of comments at WattsUpWithThat…
It's official: NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center says La Niña is back
As we reported on WUWT on August 24th, La Niña is now officially “back” with this press release from NOAA. Hopefully NOAAwatch will finally move the ENSO meter they produce…
