1. Overview: ENSO - El Niño Southern Oscillation
The three phases of the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) typically cause changes in regional
weather patterns around the world - click here for more specific information.
El Niño phase (warm phase) occurs when the Tropical South Pacific Ocean surface and subsurface
water warm significantly above normal in the Eastern Pacific and along the South American Coast.
This phase typically causes increased precipitation in specific regions of the world, and in turn - drier
conditions in other regions.

La Niña phase (cold ocean water phase) is the complete opposite of the El Niño phase. The
typical conditions during an El Niño often flip-flop during the opposite phase of the El Niño - called the
Cold La Niña phase. During this phase the Tropical Pacific surface and subsurface water ocean water
is much colder than normal. This influences typical weather conditions around the world - opposite
of those conditions seen with an El Nino.
The third phase is called the Neutral phase and typically provides weather conditions that are
neither associated with the El Niño phase nor the La Niña Phase. Some regions of the world
also experience typical weather patterns for this phase of the ENSO.

GWO Analysis: ENSO Netural Conditions in Place
As predicted by GWO, the weak El Niño of early 2019 remained weak and dissipated in June.
ENSO Neutral Conditions are now in place. This mean that neither El Niño or La Niña-
conditions are occurring - it is halfway between the 2 events.
The area of warmer than normal surface water remains in place across much of the Pacfic - but
atmospheric conditions still reflect ENSO Neutral Conditions.
(El Nino events typically occur with much warmer water along the equator)

Niño 3.4 Region (where El Nino events typically form)
The subsurface and surface water in the region Niño 3.4 where an El Niño typically occurs has warmed during the past couple of months.
Subsurface ocean temperatures (down to 250 meters): Updated 18 November
During the last 7 weeks, an area of colder than normal subsurface water in the Eastern
Tropical South Pacific modified and decreased in size.
An area of colder than normal subsurface water has increased in size and intensified the Central Tropical South Pacific.
An area of above normal subsurface water has moved from Central Pacific to the Eastern
Tropical Pacific. A second area of warmer than normal is developing in the far Western
Pacific.
Surface Water Temperatures: Central and Eastern Tropical Pacific: Updated 18 November 2019
As noted in the time series (from top to bottom) - Equatorial Tropical South Pacific surface

NOAA Climate Prediction Center (CPC): Updated 18 November 2019
Equatorial sea surface temperatures (SSTs) are above average across the western and
central Pacific Ocean and are below average in the eastern Pacific.
The pattern of anomalous convection and winds are generally consistent with
ENSO-neutral.
ENSO-neutral is favored during the Northern Hemisphere fall 2019 (70% chance),
continuing through spring 2020 (55-60% chance

Panels above show the Tropical South Pacific subsurface water temperature during the 7 weeks from 25 September 2019 (top graphic) to 14 November 2019 (bottom graphic). Cold subsurface water is noted as blue - warm is orange to red.
As noted in the time series (from top to bottom) - during the last 7 weeks, an area of colder than normal subsurface water in the Eastern Tropical South Pacific modified and decreased in size.
An area of colder than normal subsurface water has increased in size and intensified the Central Tropical South Pacific.
An area of above normal subsurface water has moved from Central Pacific to the Eastern Tropical Pacific. A second area of warmer than normal is developing in the far Western Pacific.
Ocean temperature cycles typically persist for 2 or 3 months and then change to another cycle - such as transitioning from cooling to warming.
ENSO Neutral Conditions are dominating - but for how long?. GWO's 2-year prediction discusses changes that will occur into September of 2021.
For an El Niño to Form - the subsurface water must warm dramatically in the Western and Central Tropical Pacific - and then expand eastward across the Central Tropical Pacific and finally to near South America. Once the warm subsurface water expands to the Eastern Pacific, it up-wells to the surface (see the 3-panel graphic to the right that shows the formation of the 2015 El Niño.

El Niño conditions typically occur in association with warm water across the East-Central and/or Eastern tropical Pacific. However, the water is not warm enough and reflects ENSO Neutral Contions.
Thus - ENSO Neutral Conditions are in place .

Nino Region 2.4
East Central Tropical Pacific
Surface" Ocean Temperatures
El Niño events develop in the Eastern Tropical South Pacific between the South American Coast and the Central South Pacific. This is called the Niño 3.4 Region.
The graphic above shows the surface water temperatures in this region. The dashed white line is the GWO Climate Pulse power spectrum, and the blue is the water temperatures (SSTs). Time period is 2008 through 14 Novermber 2019.
The surface water in the region Niño 3.4 where an El Niño typically occurs has cooled during the past couple of months - with some areas of colder than normal surface water.
Atmospheric El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) will reflect Neutral Conditions during the next few months.
For a moderate El Niño to form - there must be dramatic warming within the Niño 3.4 Region - and there are no indications that this will occur.
As of 14 November 2019 - ENSO Neutral Conditions are in place.

Overview of GWO's Climate Research
Climate research by David Dilley of GWO, links the very powerful naturally occurring "Primary Forcing Mechanism (PFM) for climate" to the Earth's Natural Climate Pulse. It is the PFM that controls the rhythm of Earth's Natural Climate Pulse, and in turn controls naturally occurring climate oscillations.
It is the PFM cycles and the Earth's Natural Climate Pulse that induces cyclical changes in the earth's oceans and atmosphere, and in turn triggers the El Niño, controls seasonal hurricane tracks, historical regional floods-droughts, Global Warming and Cooling cycles, and many other climate weather cycles. GWO has found this Primary Forcing Mechanism (PFM) as the triggering mechanism that controls recurring cycles of the El Niño, regional hurricane landfalls and other weather/climate cycles.
GWO’s forecast models incorporate the PFM analog years to past climate/weather events in the model forecasts for regional hurricane landfall forecasts, global warming-cooling forecasts, La Niña and El Niño forecasts (see Figure 1 for examples of the PFM relationship to the El Niño). The models provide accurate extended weather/climate cycle outlooks many years into the future, and into the past. (see the Hurricane Services page and Prior GWO Forecasts and Tracks page for past performance of GWO's 2006 through 2014 hurricane and tropical storm forecasts).
The El Niño forms approximately every 3 to 4 years (sometimes 7 years apart) in the tropical South Pacific Ocean (Figure 1). An El Nino normally influences changes in weather patterns, with these changes often taking place in December near Christmas, but not always, such as in 2008-09 when weather patterns changed in August. An El Niño typically develops when a pool of very warm ocean water suddenly moves east from near Australia across the tropical South Pacific, causing disruptions in worldwide weather patterns.
Back in April of 2008, Meteorologist and climate researcher David Dilley of Global Weather Oscillations Inc. (GWO) predicted the strongest El Niño in over 10-years to occur in 2009. The El Niño formed in August and disrupted the 2009 hurricane season.
A moderate El Niño did occur in 2009 just as predicted and caused strong wind shear in the upper atmosphere. This essentially disrupted potential hurricanes form forming, and for those which did form, a rapid demise occurred. Due to the El Niño and climate cycles, no hurricanes made landfall along the coastal areas of the United States.
GWO's *Climate Pulse Prediction Model (patent pending) utilizes naturally occurring interactions between the earth, sun, moon, -oceans and atmosphere to determine the power structure of the "Primary Forcing Mechanism (PFM) for climate". GWO has found that it is the PFM controls the Earth's Natural Climate Pulse, and various cycles of the climate and weather, including Global Warming and Global Cooling cycles.
A portion of the PFM is a sub cycle of the scientifically proven Miklanovitch Cycles and Lunisolar Procession which regulate the natural rhythm of Earth, and sets up the Earth's Natural Climate Pulse. This acts like plunger pushing and pulling on the earth's atmosphere and oceans. This forcing action displaces the Bermuda High and South Pacific high pressure center from its normal location, and thus setting the stage for the strong El Niño which began in late June of 2009 and ended in April-May 2010.
During non El Niño years, prevailing easterly trade winds keep ocean waters relatively cool in the central South Pacific Region, and in turn causes a warm pool of water to gradually pile up in the
