Research notes and updates from the team.
The SST anomaly in the Nino3.4 region has been in the neutral range lately, through mid-December 2013. For November 2013 the Nino3.4 SST anomaly was 0.01 C, indicative of neutral ENSO conditions, and for September-November it was -0.13 C. The IRI's definition of El Niño, like NOAA/Climate Prediction Center's, requires that the SST anomaly in the NINO3.4 region (5S-5N; 170W-120W) exceed 0.5 C.
