N Atlantic got colder in the last 4 weeks??

According to this, EVERY ocean in the world is cooling at the surface in the last month.

I'm sure it will change,

Good one Acid.  Argo is back.  Just downloaded January-March, 2016 data.  So now, we're only two months behind.
Must have been a long vacation.     Of course, March still shows El Nino strongly, but i'm updating my spreadsheets.
A quick glance DOES NOT show the Atlantic temperature spike that was occurring by this time after the 2009 El Nino
although there is an East Indian Ocean spike going on.
Time will tell.

Look forward to your graphics!!!

Could someone save me a lot of reading and explain (simply) what are atmospheric teleconnection indices?

I'd like to hear that as well!

It isn't simple

Remember Einstein's famous (misattributed) quote.

Northern Australia is suffering a mangrove dieback event:



'Shocking images' reveal death of 10,000 hectares of mangroves across Northern Australia

Anyone feel qualified to comment?

.... and this too:

Massive kelp forests off Western Australia have been destroyed in a marine heatwave

The warming off waters off Western Australia is expected to continue with the movement of warm tropical water down the west coast of Australia made stronger by El Niño weather events.

Dr Elizabeth Sinclair at the University of Western Australia says the research documents an alarming change.

“While the Great Barrier Reef has received much recent media exposure in relation to the widespread coral bleaching event this past summer, the impacts of marine heat waves on other marine ecosystems, such as cool water kelps and seagrasses, are just as devastating,” she says.

"About 90% of forests off the western coast were wiped out between 2011 and 2013, posing a threat to biodiversity and the marine economy, say scientists"

El Nino spike [2011 -13], now reversing fast.

The kelp will be back in a very few years.

I might add that an extraordinary "rainfall event" is now occurring across a large chunk of Northern Australia, in what is normally the dry season.

It looks like a few long-term rainfall records are about to be broken.

Obviously due to global warming.....

As I am fond of saying, it is clear we are all doomed. Never since time began have such events occurred, except the times they did.

Again and Again Mr. Phydeaux2363.
