I did Bonos, a long time ago now as well!
I stand by it still.

And I'll stick to the SST anomalies keeping it down south for the most
part. Mind you, the anomalies are said to have less effect during the
summer so that may be some small crumb of comfort.


Graham, can you explain why such a relatively small patch of cold water
(40N 40W) on the global scale can affect the whole NH dynamics at 9Km
and above? Might it not be that the NH SST anomalies are symptomatic
rather than causal?


I think I've already answered this in an earlier response to one of your
queries on this subject. Also, it's hardly a small patch of water.
Perhaps you'd be better off going to the horse's mouth and checking on
the work by Lamb and Ratcliffe back in the 60s and 70s.
