Observed Data Inputs for
Initializing LDEO5 ENSO forecasts

Plots of climate variables used for initializing LDEO5 forecasts: last two months. [Same in pdf]
Top to bottom: anomalies of
(1) zonal wind stress, Pa, from ERA-5;
(2) meridional wind stress, Pa, from ERA-5;
(3) sea surface temperature, °C, from NCDC Daily OI SST, version 2.1;
(4) sea surface height (SSH), cm, from altimetry (DUACS);
(5) sea level, cm, from the SSH assimilation into the LDEO5 ocean component.
