I'm actually gonna miss Arctic fieldwork this year (normally it takes me a few years to forget about the bugs, weather, and bears) - last year was just amazing
'The radiative impact of anthropogenic aerosols can't explain the response of the tropical Pacific in the models, suggesting the processes that connect regional forcing to the tropical Pacific response are important.' agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...
Either we’re in for a record smashing El Niño, or we’ve got a few years of model soul searching

Researchers say changes could further burden the understaffed agency
With June runs in for all the ENSO models and the "spring predictability barrier" mostly behind us, the odds of a record-breaking El Niño event this fall have continued to increase. Here are all the latest runs (including today's C3S updates):
