Air, water not ‘coupling’, El Nino delayed SOUTHLAND - (INT) – Climatologist are backing down on their outlook for an El Nino this winter because the atmosphere has not shown clear evidence of ‘coupling’ with the ocean.
Despite above-average ocean temperatures, recent months have reflected neutral conditions. The Climate Prediction Center notes that late winter and early spring are the most favorable months for ‘coupling’ and predict that a weak El Nino will emerge shortly. “Significant global impacts are not anticipated the remainder of the winter,” according to the latest statement.
