We keep getting these ridiculous Pacific Jet extensions that bring record warmth to North America. My guess is that all the warmth in the Western to Central Pacific MJO regions are driving this phenomenon. This time with the orientation in the ridge, the warmest departures will probably line up further west than last January. But even in a warming planet, it’s noteworthy to get two consecutive winters with monthly departures so high for the North American continent. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Webb (love him or hate him) makes an interesting point, is AGW making the warmth even more dramatic? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_other_guy Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 can we establish that the linear conclusion between MJO and the type of winter weather you expect has been disrupted by AGW? it seems that guys that are relying on MJO phases for pattern changes have been shooting blanks for the past few years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowman19 Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Here you can see the slow down in 6/7 like the OLR maps were showing days ago As suspected, once the MJO gets into phase 7, it constructively interferes with the El Niño standing wave and slows down. Expect the associated WWB to also increase in strength as we get closer in time. This is almost certainly going to result in substantial warming of Nino regions 3 and 3.4 at the end of this month….it has a lot of warmth in the subsurface and OHC to work with….. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I began to suspect it after seeing the extreme warmth in December 2015 when we had a record MJO 5 for a super El Niño. But we recently got confirmation in 2019 that this is the case. It’s not just chance that we have had 8 warmer than normal winters in a row which never happened before. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-019-1764-4 Twofold expansion of the Indo-Pacific warm pool warps the MJO life cycle M. K. Roxy, Panini Dasgupta, Michael J. McPhaden, Tamaki Suematsu, Chidong Zhang & Daehyun Kim Nature volume 575, pages 647–651 (2019)Cite this article 12k Accesses 91 Citations 498 Altmetric Metrics details Abstract The Madden–Julian Oscillation (MJO) is the most dominant mode of subseasonal variability in the tropics, characterized by an eastward-moving band of rain clouds. The MJO modulates the El Niño Southern Oscillation1, tropical cyclones2,3 and the monsoons4,5,6,7,8,9,10, and contributes to severe weather events over Asia, Australia, Africa, Europe and the Americas. MJO events travel a distance of 12,000–20,000 km across the tropical oceans, covering a region that has been warming during the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries in response to increased anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases11, and is projected to warm further. However, the impact of this warming on the MJO life cycle is largely unknown. Here we show that rapid warming over the tropical oceans during 1981–2018 has warped the MJO life cycle, with its residence time decreasing over the Indian Ocean by 3–4 days, and increasing over the Indo-Pacific Maritime Continent by 5–6 days. We find that these changes in the MJO life cycle are associated with a twofold expansion of the Indo-Pacific warm pool, the largest expanse of the warmest ocean temperatures on Earth. The warm pool has been expanding on average by 2.3 × 105 km2 (the size of Washington State) per year during 1900–2018 and at an accelerated average rate of 4 × 105 km2(the size of California) per year during 1981–2018. The changes in the Indo-Pacific warm pool and the MJO are related to increased rainfall over southeast Asia, northern Australia, Southwest Africa and the Amazon, and drying over the west coast of the United States and Ecuador 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not restricted to the warmer MJO phases. In general, our Oceans are very, very warm. We are increasingly breaking single day precipitation event records as a result of warmer temperatures as a consequence of, in part, higher oceanic heat content. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donsutherland1 Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 3 hours ago, snowman19 said: The overnight model runs have gotten even stronger with the PAC jet late month. This is pretty incredible Such jet streaks often develop during moderate or strong El Niño events and high amplitude passage of the MJO through Phases 5-6-7. Below is a composite of Phase 5 (amplitude 1.5 or above) and El Niño Region 3.4 anomaly of 1.0 or above and then rolled forward five days.

Bluewave is vey smart but does have a warm bias. Posting red maps over and over again doesn't mean it's not going to snow anymore. LOL..It's a December strong nino..they all turn out mild and snowless.No big surprise here.Maybe we'll see something in January, February and March. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
