Subject: La Niña, El Niño or La Nada?

Hi All,

I have received several comments and questions about this year being a 
La Niña, El Niño or La Nada?  Here are two links to some of the best 
current information available on the subject.  For the most part, early 
in the year there was La Niña conditions, but those seem to be 
diminishing.  Overall, the Channel Islands have experienced average 
water temperatures during the month of May.  

Below is the web address for the most recent issue of the Coast Watch 
(May): http://coastwatch.pfel.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/elnino.cgi

and El Niño discussion for May/June:
