  9. The onset of La Nina conditions in December 2005, after a largely ENSO-neutral northern autumn, was unprecedented since 1950. How did it emerge?

  14. How did statistical and dynamical ENSO prediction models fare regarding the brief 2005-06 La Nina conditions and the late 2006 El Nino development?

  25. Blue asterisk* means the model did comparatively well during this period. Hybrid Models: Dynamical ocean, statistical atmosphere * .

  26. Blue asterisk* means the model did comparatively well during this period. Abbreviated dynamical coupled models .

  27. Blue asterisk* means the model did comparatively well during this period. * Fully comprehensive coupled models: Run in the U.S. * .

  28. Blue asterisk* means the model did comparatively well during this period. * Fully comprehensive coupled models: Run outside of U.S. * * .

  29. Blue asterisk* means the model did comparatively well during this period. Statistical models based on the redness of the coupled system * .

  30. Blue asterisk* means the model did comparatively well during this period. Statistical models based on linear or nonlinear regression * .

  31. Blue asterisk* means the model did comparatively well during this period. Statistical models based on unique designs (regression to construct an analog, neurological network). * * .

  32. The following graphs show how each model did in predicting the ENSO state from JFM 2006 to ASO 2007, by one-month increments (so there are up to 18 3-month periods), for lead times of 1 to 5 months (1 month lead is really “zero lead”, such as a forecast for JFM made from December [or even earlier] initial conditions). Scores: Correlation (uncentered; means not removed) RMSE Skill score: ( 1 – [RMSEmodel/RMSEclim] ) The blue curve shows the model skill. The pink curve shows the skill of persistence from the most recently observed one month SST.
