El Nino/La Nina Southern Oscillation
(ENSO)

This page contains links to El Nino and La Nina advisories, satellite imagery, sea surface temperature charts, long-lead forecast models and more.  Use it to monitor El Nino and La Nina events and to understand it's impact on surf conditions at your beach.

Daily Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) (Long Padduck - Australia) Provides good daily raw data on the evolution of El Nino/La Nina induced surface pressure conditions. A negative SOI value indicates El Nino tendencies, while a positive value indicates La Nina. Alternate link (Uses a 1933-1992 baseline instead of the 1887-1989 baseline used in the previous link.)

SOI Historical Values (Long Padduck - Australia) Indicates month-by-month variations in the SOI. Prolonged negative values indicates El Nino while prolonged positive values indicates La Nina.

Sea Surface Temperature Anomalies (Long Padduck - Australia)

Real-Time Pacific Equatorial Water Temperature and Wind Anomalies (NOAA/TAO) A great source for viewing surface and sub-surface conditions along the equatorial Pacific Ocean, the core El Nino/La Nina breeding zone.

Current ENSO Advisory (NCEP) The latest El Nino/La Nina advisories (posted 3rd Monday of each month). Alternate monthly advisory from NOAA Coastwatch centered on California.

Weekly ENSO/Tropical Climate Advisory (Bureau of Meteorology - Australia)

Experimental Sea Surface Temperature (SST) Charts (NESDIS) Great small current SST anomaly image and a historical archive. Alternate large image.

Equatorial Pacific Altimetry Plots (NRL at Stennis Space Center) Good images depicting Sea Surface Temperature and height anomalies, prime El Nino-La Nina indicators. Updated near-daily. Similar data available for other locations across the planet here.

Select ENSO Indicators (NOAA/NCEP) Links to Sea Surface Temperature, Sub-Surface Temperature, 850 mb winds and Outgoing Longwave Radiation images.

5 Day Wind, Sea Surface Temp (SST) and 20 degree isotherm depth anomaly time series charts (NOAA/TAO) Also mean data.

5 Day Mean and Anomaly SST depths (NOAA/TAO)

Sea Surface Temperature Forecast Images (NCEP/CMB) Great images from the long-lead ENSO Coupled Model at the NCEP Climate Modeling Branch.

Sea Surface Temperature Forecasts (NOAA Climate Predication Center) More images and predictions.
