The figure shows our latest forecast using a neural network model trained with data up to November 2000. The four panels are for 3-, 6-, 9-month and 12-month leadtimes respectively. The black line is the observed SSTA (in degree Celsius), and the blue circles are forecasts.
Forecasts at 9- and 12-month leadtimes indicate that the tropical Pacific will remain slightly cold or normal until the end of 2001.
