POAMA model=Neutral ENSO at peak of Hurricane season

POAMA stands for=Predictive Ocean Atmosphere Model for Australia

The Australians are predicting Neutral conditions when hurricane season rolls in and going into the peak of the season.

Let's see what NOAA says in the comming weeks and also see how the equatorial Pacific evolves in the next 3-4 months.

Yes the vast majority are for Neutral ENSO.By the end of this month a new update of all those models including POAMA will have a new update but I dont expect a change from this January one.

What POAMA does is update daily what is going on with the anomalies in the Pacific and at the same time they update their long range predictions in a daily basis.

altho i may be incorrect, i remember that the bmo had been backing a warm episode for the height of season 2005...perhaps there is some sort of model bias?...rich

Yes I remember about them predicting a el Nino type ENSO.I am with you Rich about a bias toward warm ENSO from the Aussies.
