Some ENSO-related observations

SST on the 23rd of September 1997

Most recent SST monthly composite

How this translates into SST anomalies

SST actual and anomaly evolution in time/longitude

Sea Surface height idealized anomaly evolution

Time evolution of SST at buoys ranged across the equatorial Pacific

How to calculate the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI)

How this translates into an evolving pressure signature

Evolution of the 1997 El Nino (NOAA)

A four-panel animation of SST anomalies, contrasting four El Ninos since 1980. The current El Nino shows up as the most intense for this phase of evolution.

Real time surface winds and SST, as measured by moored buoys
