Re: [californiadisasters] Graphic of the Day - El Niño From Hell II



I know it's the one from '97, sez right on it, but I was saying that it is too bad we did not have the technology and observational coverage in the early 80's to create an image like that for that event for purposes of comparison.... and given what 82-83 did to California which was way worse than 97-98 which was when most of the damage happened last time and 82-83 was weaker I shudder to think what this one may do.... BTW, what is the PDO doing now? We've been in the negative phase of it the past decade and a half which coincides with generally weaker El Ninos and more drought as opposed to the 80's into 90's. Where do we stand on that now? Back into the positive phase of PDO or still negative and this El Nino merely a statistical outlier?

Well yes, that's the one from 1997, however 1982's was a little weaker in comparison to 97; so this is panning out to be the strongest on record.

Eclectic Arcania wonders what the 1982-1983 El Nino looked like in early October 1982 for purposes of comparison:
