Operational XRO Climate Forecasts
Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) forecasts
The plume show monthly IOD SST anomaly forecasts relative to the 1991–2020 climatology. Forecasts are generated using the XRO framework and uninitializted sensitivity experiments designed to isolate the contributions of different ocean-basin SST modes to ENSO evolution.
- XRO Forecast — CTRL forecast
- w/o ENSO — excludes equatorial Pacific ENSO SST and WWV effects.
- w/o Pacific — excludes both equatorial Pacific ENSO SST and WWV and extratropical Pacific NPMM and SPMM effects.
Differences between the CTRL forecast and the sensitivity experiments provide an estimate of the contributions of Pacific to the predicted evolution of IOD.
