Click on the above link in the event the following .gif doesn’t post well.
In the January 3, 2009 graphic, the cross-section below the East equatorial Pacific contains some pockets with anomalies as low as -6 deg C, and they appear to be rising to the surface.

Off to the west, there’s a warm pocket working its eastward from the Pacific Warm Pool. It will be interesting to watch what happens…in extremely slow motion. I’ll have to check back in a month or so.
