Emergence of the strong El Nino climate is seen in the evolution of strong positive phase global atmospheric angular momentum (+GLAAM) by late JUN/early JUL. +GLAAM is characteristic of a strong El Nino climate as westerlies aloft in the middle latitudes increase due to the interaction between increasing El Nino convection in the deep tropics and the dynamic forcing on mid-latitude upper airflow. The global wind oscillation (GWO) forecast indicates most of the forcing is in the eastern hemisphere (phase_5, phase_6, and phase_7).
