Subject: [mget-help] Re: Question about ENSO monthly binning

Hi, guys.

Yeah, I was mainly wondering whether the MGET tool uses the ONI index (and phases) from the table shown here:

http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/analysis_monitoring/ensostuff/ensoyears.shtml

Or if it calculates the ONI and identifies phases on the basis of the methods described on that webpage along with the monthly data served here:

http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/analysis_monitoring/ensostuff/detrend.nino34.ascii.txt

The reason I ask is that the latter can produce slightly different results (e.g., phases) depending on the numerical precision of the calculations.

Thanks!

Arliss

Hi Jason,

I'm writing because I was hoping to get more information about how MGET tools use the ONI table to bin rasters into ENSO phases (Arliss, please feel to jump in). 

The reason that I ask is we'd like to bin other oceanographic products (namely eddy probabilities and HYCOM surface currents/temp) in the same way, and would like to make sure our methods are consistent across all our predictor variables.

Many thanks,
Bryan Costa
