Three-month Prediction & Warm/Cold Season Prediction ( SST Index Time-series )

Initial date:  
Index:  
Time-series Type:
Verification Index:

Error bars represent 95% confidence intervals estimated by a bootstrap method (1000 samplings).


    After Feb 2022
  • Analysis Data: MGDSST
  • Forecast Data: JMA/MRI-CPS3
  • The SST indices consist of monthly mean SSTs, monthly mean SST anomalies. Anomalies are relative to monthly normals of 30-year base period (1991 - 2020). It should be noted the base period is different from El Niño Monitoring and Outlook products.
  • S.D. : standard deviation based on 1991-2020 hindcast
  • Definition of SST Indices

    Until Jan 2022
  • Analysis Data: COBE-SST
  • Forecast Data: JMA/MRI-CPS2
  • The SST indices consist of monthly mean SSTs, monthly mean SST anomalies. Anomalies are relative to monthly normals of 30-year base period (1981 - 2010). It should be noted the base period is different from El Niño Monitoring and Outlook products.
  • S.D. : standard deviation based on 1981-2010 hindcast
