A transition from La Niña to ENSO-neutral is expected in the next month, with #ENSO-neutral favored through MJJ 2026 (55% chance). El Niño is likely to emerge In JJA 2026 (62% chance) and persist through at least the end of 2026. (1/2) https://t.co/5zlzaZ1aZx
The upcoming CMIP6 will feature a whole new set of emissions scenarios. While about half of these are new variations of the old RCPs, some have markedly different CO2 emissions. The new scenarios also fill some important gaps in our understanding. A thread: 1/8

@Cmdr_Hadfield@UniofBath Purdue University researchers, working with scientists from Battelle and the University of California, Irvine, discovered that bromine and chlorine, two chemicals found in sea salt, may initiate a series of chemical events that destroy ozone in the Arctic troposphere.
The Tongan eruption's atmospheric waves went around our planet six times, and put so much seawater into the stratosphere that it affects our protective ozone layer.

Persisting -SPO & -SPMM can result in a rare triple #LaNina into 2023. Since 1950, the only other two triple La Ninas were from 1973-1976 and 1998-2001. Moderate to strong -IOD late in 2022 could mean a reverse to #ElNino for boreal winter of 2023/2024.
