I think we should name this El Nino "Calvin." I think I see signs of the atmospheric pattern beating down the persistent high pressure associated with the "Blob." How about you all? Also, what is the deal with the 0.9 and most recently the 1.0 on the ONI index that is posted with the weekly El Nino update and with the Historical numbers. All the rest of the numbers they show don't correlate very well with that at all. It looked like the last 3 month period should have been a 1.2 at least. I realize that they are different data sets that get used, but some explanation of what the difference is and why between them would be cool. Also, does NOAA have anywhere that you can check the Equatorial Southern Oscillation numbers in closer to real time? Thanks
