in my opinion, very unlikely that Western Europe is not affected by cold waves if the IPO index is below -1.5 for example. Since 1976, every time the index was below -1.5, the Western Europe had enjoyed a winter with several wave of severe frost including France, Germany and Britain . I do not see why this scheme would stop our current era. Another thing, El Nino is also unfavorable to the waves of gel in the eastern and central United States. Europe would be more favored by cold repeating especially the Central part of Europe

superb analysis and I totally agree with you. Now it only remains to wait for the value of the OPI index and will be fixed- 1,521 replies

oh yeah? but then how a model can you know whether there will be a warming (high or low) in the stratosphere 2/3 months before maturity if it included this factor in? It's just not possible so a model we know what it's worth, nothing- 1,521 replies

Stratosphere Temperature Watch 2014/2015
neige57 replied to chionomaniac's topic in Spring Weather Discussion
I prefer to base myself on the study of the OPI index (certainly more reliable) than models. For me, a model that remains a model and they can not take into account what might happen in the stratosphere before and forcing the polar vortex. The final forecast will be published in early November and if the OPI index should example below -1 then the risk of a positive NAO seriously weaken and no matter what will seasonal patterns. patience =)- 1,521 replies

This could really help the Nordic block is the QBO to highly negative values ​​now, even at the records, between -25 and -30. And it should especially continue for several months. I think we are heading towards an interesting winter in Europe. The only question mark is solar activity but it is spirit to fall sharply at the moment so a rather positive

http://www.accuweather.com/en/weather-blogs/anderson/forecast-model-update-into-the-winter/35382077 ECMWF favors a negative AO November to March included seeing abnormalities Canada. A reminder, last year, CEP was in favor of a neutral AO positive- 1,521 replies

yes it is highly strange. Riccardo should probably know why? But it is true that the days (thus the 5, 7 and 10 October 2013), there was no evidence of a negative OPI cards medium and long term Returning to the present, the IPO index is negative and this is the most important. There was no day is spent in the positive. The average of 1 to October 15 will be negative and no doubt this is a very positive

you're really late Gavin, it's been over a year since we discussed it and you did not notice ?? OPI index works much better than just watching anomalies Stt as you usually do every year, that's not how it works. I think you should look at what is actually OPI before saying that there is no convincing evidence

1990/1991 Winter is a cold but mainly thanks to February winter. January was unusually mild in Europe with a positive AO and December 1990 was cold that first half, very soft in the second half and especially at Christmas with a compact VP. Finally, the AO was 1.0, OPI index was 0.6 (rounded 0.55) is very close

Thanks I had fun checking the results of the AO according to the OPI index and no real surprise, I board found only four errors on 38 years tested, it is the winter 1982/1983, 1983/1984, 1998/1999 and 1999/2000. So I board not taken as reference trismestre December / January / February, but only in December / January because these are the two months that the OPI index may be the most important. In the end, it's amazing to see how the numbers are very close between the AO and the IPO index, it works wonderfully

Moreover, it seemed that Riccardo had said that the second part of winter would be different for the reasons I mentioned. After the VP was so compact in the first part of winter that waves 1 and 2 propagating at regular intervals could not cause strong changes in atmospheric circulation during the second part of the winter 2013/2014
