Boletín El Niño

Comments:

Altimetry map and indicator seem to indicate that the situation is evolving towards an El Niño, even if it's out of season (but experts think that we still haven't seen the whole range of possible El Niño/La Niña in the twenty years or so since global monitoring is enabled).
Temperature anomalies with respect to depth at the equator (equatorial section based on TAO array data) show an anomaly about +1°C in surface. This suggest that the warm pool is beginning to empty towards East and Equatorial Peru coasts.
