State of the oceans - Apr 17, 2022

 Ocean currents dated Apr. 16.


I started to look at this, and thought, 'Oh, the Pacific is getting active again'.  


The East Pacific starts to look like a heat engine again.  There is even some temperature building up.


But, alas, everything is cold on the anomaly map.


And here we have the great crime of the 'two n's'.  Nobody is doing the physics here.  I wonder how many years of the cold Pacific we have, before they stop calling it "La Nina', as though it is a temporary cycle.  It should just be called 'Icebox Pacific'.  But, semantics is the job of the philosophers, they coin the terms.

ps.  so for the one year weather forecast, nothing to do with climate change, we are looking at a winter worse than this one.  You define winters by heating degree days, and summers by cooling degree days, not peak temperatures.
