Post is here. Got the okay from Alan Buis and Josh Willis (NASA JPL) to re-post it here. I'm writing up a companion piece (and will link the two together), because I don't think it's well known how much water mass is exchanged between the oceans and land during the ENSO phases. My take on this (the title) will have a different emphasis too. Oh, and JC or Dana, if you could add the little green box to indicate it is a re-post from NASA JPL, and remove me as the author, that would just be dandy. Even dandier would be if someone told me how to add the little green box. | |

To add a greenbox you go into the HTML code (click the HTML button next to the question mark), and then type
<p class="greenbox">text you want in the greenbox</p> | |

Nicely done Rob. I was actually wondering what the heck was going on with the global sea levels-- it is quite the (transient) dip. The lastest data (last two blue data points) from AVISO show that the GSL is probably rebounding again. | |

I like it.
Are you going to include pictures of what it really means in your side post? ENORMOUS floods in Columbia, Pakistan & Australia... and pretty hefty ones in South Africa too iirc. | |

Yeah, you've got it Mark, that's exactly how I've approached it. I think sometimes you have to hammer people over the head for them to grasp the obvious. I know it's been suspected for a long time, but now the data is confirming that the short-term fluctuations in SLR are mostly water mass exchanges with the land, rather than thermosteric change. I'm just having a hard time finding a suitable graph to show the relationship between ENSO & SLR, might have to run with the one I've got. (2nd hand via Nerem (2010). What would be cool, is a set of thumbnails with all the epic flood events, so readers could click on each one and go straight to a clip of the floods. Static images don't really convey the full fury of a flood. I have hyper-linked the floods at the mo, but most readers don't click on the links. | |

What do you get if you use the raw data for SLR?
NINO3.4 temperatures with a variety of lags checked against the residuals from a linear trend of the Boulder SLR data? | |

A jumbled mess with the seasonal signal included - at a guess. I've gone down a different route. See post here. One day we'll get that tutorial on creating graphs, that was discussed here. | |

Rob. I Like it!
One extra thing you might add if it is easy. The graph not only shows a serious drop currently due to La Nina. It also shows the 1998 El Nino associated with a steep rise - use the alternate pattern to reinforce the overall ENSO impact. |
