Here is EPS 850 mb wind trend for roughly same period as I showed for GEFS. Note how anom. W-lies at 850 mb that reached all the way to ~140W at 10N get pushed back to ~170W, replaced by slight anom. E-lies. At equator, magnitude of anom W-lies in C. Pac. is greatly reduced pic.twitter.com/NOurRiIzvt
