Oceanic Niño Index (ONI)
- ค่า ONI เป็นค่าดัชนีชี้วัดปรากฏการณ์เอลนิโญ่และลานิญ่า
- คํานวณจากค่าอุณหภูมิที่ผิวนํ้าทะเล (SST) ที่เปลี่ยนไปจากค่าอุณหภูมินํ้าทะเลปกติ
- โดยค่า ONI จะคํานวณจากพื้นที่บริเวณที่เรียกว่า Niño 3.4 region ซึ่งจะกินพื้นที่
บริเวณละติจูดที่ 5S-5N และลองจิจูดที่ 120W-170W ตามภาพ,
- ค่านี้เองที่ทาง NOAA ได้ใช้เป็นตัวตรวจวัด ประเมินความแรงและทํานายการเกิดปรากฏการณ์ ENSO.
- ค่าดัชนี ONI นี้ได้มาจากการตรวจวัดค่าอุณหภูมินํ้าทะเลที่บริเวณดังกล่าว โดยใช้ค้าเฉลี่ยทุกช่วงสามเดือน
- ทาง NOAA ให้คําจํากัดความของค่า ONI ไว้ว่า
- ถ้าค่า ONI มีค่าตั้งแต่ +0.5 °C ขึ้นไปจะถือว่าเป็นช่วงของ El Nino
- ถ้าค่า ONI มีค่าตั้งแต่ -0.5 °C ลงมาให้ถือว่าเป็นช่วงของ La Niña
- ประวัติข้อมูลย้อนหลังนั้น เราจะสามารถสรุปได้ว่าช่วงเวลาหนึ่งๆคือช่วงของ El Nino
หรือ La Nina อย่างเต็มรูปแบบได้
- ก็ต่อเมื่อ ค่า ONI เกินกว่าค่าที่กําหนดไว้ไม่น้อยกว่า 5 ช่วงการวัดติดต่อกัน (หนึ่งช่วง
การวัดคือค่าเฉลี่ยของทุกสามเดือน) at least 5 consecutive overlapping 3-month
seasons

- ค่าดัชนี ONI ยังถูกนําไปใช้ในการระบุค่าความแรงของปรากฏการณ์ El Nino และ La Nina
- ถ้าค่าดัชนีนี้มีค่าตั้งแต่ +0.5 - +0.9 ถือว่าเป็นปรากฎการณ์ El Nino ที่มีกําลังอ่อน
- ถ้าค่าดัชนีนี้มีค่าตั้งแต่ -0.5 - -0.9 ถือว่าเป็นปรากฎการณ์ La Nina ที่มีกําลังอ่อน
- ถ้ามีค่าตั้งแต่ +1.0 - +1.4 ถือว่าเป็นปรากฎการณ์ El Nino ที่มีกําลังปานกลาง
- ถ้ามีค่าตั้งแต่ -1.0 - -1.4 ถือว่าเป็นปรากฎการณ์ La Nina ที่มีกําลังปานกลาง
- ถ้ามีค่ามากกว่าหรือเท่ากับ +1.5 ถือว่าเป็นปรากฎการณ์ El Nino ที่มีกําลังแรง
- ถ้ามีค่ามากกว่าหรือเท่ากับ -1.5 ถือว่าเป็นปรากฎการณ์ La Nina ที่มีกําลังปานกลาง

Summary
Summary
* Note: These statements are updated once a month (2nd Thursday of each month) in association
with the ENSO Diagnostics Discussion, which can be found by clicking here.
ENSO Alert System Status: Not Active
ENSO-Neutral conditions are present.*
Equatorial sea surface temperatures (SSTs) are near-to-below average across
the central and eastern Pacific Ocean.
ENSO-Neutral is favored (~85% chance during Jul-Sep, decreasing to ~55%
during Dec-Feb) through the Northern Hemisphere winter 2017-18.*
Below average SSTs were observed over
most of the central and eastern Pacific
Ocean through January 2017.
During January and February 2017,
above-average SSTs expanded within
the eastern Pacific Ocean.
From mid April to July 2017, near-to-
above average SSTs were evident
across most of the equatorial Pacific.
In the last month, above-average
temperatures have dissipated across
the central and eastern Pacific.
In the last week, SSTs were near-to-
below average over the eastern Pacific.
Recent Evolution of
Equatorial Pacific SST
Departures (oC)
Niño Region SST Departures
(oC) Recent Evolution
The latest weekly SST
departures are:
Niño 4 0.2ºC
Niño 3.4 -0.2ºC
Niño 3 -0.4ºC
Niño 1+2 -0.2ºC
SST Departures (oC) in the Tropical Pacific During the Last
Four Weeks
During the last four weeks, equatorial SSTs were near-to-below average across the
central and eastern Pacific Ocean, and above average in the western Pacific.
2630
Global SST Departures (oC) During the Last Four Weeks
During the last four weeks, equatorial SSTs were above average in western/central
Atlantic, the western Indian, and in the far western Pacific Oceans. SSTs were below
average near Indonesia, and in portions of the central and eastern Pacific.
2630
Weekly SST Departures
during the Last Four Weeks
During the last four weeks, below-average
SSTs have emerged across portions of the
central and eastern Pacific Ocean.
Change in Weekly SST Departures over the Last Four Weeks
During the last four weeks, changes in SST anomalies were negative east of the
International Date Line.
Upper-Ocean Conditions in
the Equatorial Pacific
The basin-wide equatorial upper ocean (0-300 m)
heat content is greatest prior to and during the
early stages of a Pacific warm (El Niño) episode
(compare top 2 panels), and least prior to and
during the early stages of a cold (La Niña)
episode.
The slope of the oceanic thermocline is least
(greatest) during warm (cold) episodes.
Recent values of the upper-ocean heat
anomalies (near average) and thermocline slope
index (near average) reflect ENSO-Neutral
conditions.
The monthly thermocline slope index represents the
difference in anomalous depth of the 20ºC isotherm
between the western Pacific (160ºE-150ºW) and the
eastern Pacific (90º-140ºW).
Central and Eastern Pacific Upper-Ocean (0-300 m)
Weekly Average Temperature Anomalies
Negative subsurface temperature anomalies were present through December 2016.
Positive anomalies were present from mid-January through March 2017 before weakening
to near zero. Starting in mid-April and mid-June, positive anomalies strengthened before
tapering off again. Since mid-July, anomalies have decreased and are negative.
Sub-Surface Temperature Departures in the Equatorial Pacific
Most recent pentad analysis
Since late July, negative subsurface anomalies
strengthened at depth, with the strongest anomalies
between 160ºW-90ºW.
In the last two months, subsurface positive
temperature anomalies have been replaced by
negative temperature anomalies across the Pacific.
Tropical OLR and Wind Anomalies
During the Last 30 Days
Weak, negative OLR anomalies (enhanced
convection and precipitation) were evident near
Indonesia. Weak, positive OLR anomalies
(reduced convection and precipitation) were
present over the western equatorial Pacific
Ocean.
Low-level (850-hPa) winds were anomalous
easterly over the western tropical Pacific.
Upper-level (200-hPa) winds were anomalous
easterly over a small region of the east-central
equatorial Pacific.
Intraseasonal Variability
Intraseasonal variability in the atmosphere (wind and pressure), which is often related
to the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO), can significantly impact surface and subsurface
conditions across the Pacific Ocean.
Related to this activity:
Significant weakening of the low-level easterly winds usually initiates an eastward-
propagating oceanic Kelvin wave.
Weekly Heat Content
Evolution in the Equatorial
Pacific
Equatorial oceanic Kelvin waves have
alternating warm and cold phases. The warm
phase is indicated by dashed lines. Down-
welling and warming occur in the leading
portion of a Kelvin wave, and up-welling and
cooling occur in the trailing portion.
From February 2017 through May 2017,
positive subsurface temperature anomalies
persisted in the western and eastern Pacific
Ocean, with oceanic Kelvin waves resulting in
anomalous temperature variability in the
central Pacific.
Recently, an upwelling Kelvin wave is
associated with below-average subsurface
temperatures across the east-central and
eastern equatorial Pacific.
Low-level (850-hPa)
Zonal (east-west) Wind
Anomalies (m s-1)
Low-level easterly wind anomalies
generally persisted over the central
and western equatorial Pacific from
mid September 2016 to mid April 2017
and again since May 2017.
Since January 2017, westerly wind
anomalies were generally observed
over the eastern Pacific Ocean.
Westerly Wind Anomalies (orange/red shading)
Easterly Wind Anomalies (blue shading)
Upper-level (200-hPa)
Velocity Potential Anomalies
Unfavorable for precipitation (brown shading)
Favorable for precipitation (green shading)
Note: Eastward propagation is not necessarily indicative of the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO).
At least from January to late July 2017,
anomalous upper-level divergence (green
shading) generally persisted near
Indonesia, while anomalous convergence
(brown shading) persisted near the Date
Line.
Eastward propagation of regions of
upper-level divergence (green shading)
and convergence (brown shading) is
particularly evident during January-
February 2017, April-May 2017, and July-
August 2017.
Outgoing Longwave
Radiation (OLR) Anomalies
Drier-than-average Conditions (orange/red shading)
Wetter-than-average Conditions (blue shading)
From early September 2016 to mid April
2017, positive OLR anomalies persisted
near the International Date Line, with
negative OLR anomalies persisting near
the Maritime Continent/far western Pacific
Ocean.
From mid-May to late July 2017, OLR
anomalies were negative near Indonesia.
Recently, positive OLR anomalies have
returned to the western Pacific Ocean.
Oceanic Niño Index (ONI)
The ONI is based on SST departures from average in the Niño 3.4 region, and is a
principal measure for monitoring, assessing, and predicting ENSO.
Defined as the three-month running-mean SST departures in the Niño 3.4 region.
Departures are based on a set of improved homogeneous historical SST analyses
(Extended Reconstructed SST – ERSST.v4). The SST reconstruction methodology is
described in Huang et al., 2015, J. Climate, vol. 28, 911-930.)
It is one index that helps to place current events into a historical perspective
NOAA Operational Definitions for El Niño and La Niña
El Niño: characterized by a positive ONI greater than or equal to +0.5ºC.
La Niña: characterized by a negative ONI less than or equal to -0.5ºC.
By historical standards, to be classified as a full-fledged El Niño or La Niña episode,
these thresholds must be exceeded for a period of at least 5 consecutive overlapping
3-month seasons.
CPC considers El Niño or La Niña conditions to occur when the monthly Niño3.4 OISST
departures meet or exceed +/- 0.5ºC along with consistent atmospheric features. These
anomalies must also be forecasted to persist for 3 consecutive months.
ONI (ºC): Evolution
since 1950
The most recent ONI value (June
– August 2017) is -0.1ºC.
El Niño
La Niña
Neutral
Historical El Niño and La Niña Episodes Based on the ONI
computed using ERSST.v4
Recent Pacific warm (red) and cold (blue) periods based on a threshold of +/- 0.5 ºC for the Oceanic
Nino Index (ONI) [3 month running mean of ERSST.v4 SST anomalies in the Nino 3.4 region (5N-5S, 120-170W)].
For historical purposes, periods of below and above normal SSTs are colored in blue and red when the
threshold is met for a minimum of 5 consecutive over-lapping seasons.
The ONI is one measure of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation, and other indices can confirm whether
features consistent with a coupled ocean-atmosphere phenomenon accompanied these periods. The complete
table going back to DJF 1950 can be found here.

  • 1. การประชุมเสวนาทางวิชาการ เรื่องสถานการณอุทกภัยป 2560 และคาดการณสภาพน้ําป 2561 โดย ดร.วัฒนา กันบัว ผูอํานวยการศูนยอุตุนิยมวิทยาทะเล กรมอุตุนิยมวิทยา
  • 2. Neutral หรือNormal El Niño La Niña สภาวะสภาพภูมิอากาศโลก ลมค้าแรงปกติ ความชื้นเพียงพอ ฝนตกต้องตามฤดูกาล ลมค้าอ่อนกําลังผิดปกติ ความชื้นน้อย (ประเทศไทย) ฝนไม่ตกต้องตามฤดูกาล ลมค้าแรงกว่าปกติ ความชื้นมาก (ประเทศไทย) ฝนตกมากกว่าปกติ
  • 3. Oceanic Niño Index (ONI) - ค่า ONI เป็นค่าดัชนีชี้วัดปรากฏการณ์เอลนิโญ่และลานิญ่า - คํานวณจากค่าอุณหภูมิที่ผิวนํ้าทะเล (SST) ที่เปลี่ยนไปจากค่าอุณหภูมินํ้าทะเลปกติ - โดยค่า ONI จะคํานวณจากพื้นที่บริเวณที่เรียกว่า Niño 3.4 region ซึ่งจะกินพื้นที่ บริเวณละติจูดที่ 5S-5N และลองจิจูดที่ 120W-170W ตามภาพ, - ค่านี้เองที่ทาง NOAA ได้ใช้เป็นตัวตรวจวัด ประเมินความแรงและทํานายการเกิดปรากฏการณ์ ENSO. - ค่าดัชนี ONI นี้ได้มาจากการตรวจวัดค่าอุณหภูมินํ้าทะเลที่บริเวณดังกล่าว โดยใช้ค้าเฉลี่ยทุกช่วงสามเดือน
  • 4. - ทาง NOAA ให้คําจํากัดความของค่า ONI ไว้ว่า - ถ้าค่า ONI มีค่าตั้งแต่ +0.5 °C ขึ้นไปจะถือว่าเป็นช่วงของ El Nino - ถ้าค่า ONI มีค่าตั้งแต่ -0.5 °C ลงมาให้ถือว่าเป็นช่วงของ La Niña - ประวัติข้อมูลย้อนหลังนั้น เราจะสามารถสรุปได้ว่าช่วงเวลาหนึ่งๆคือช่วงของ El Nino หรือ La Nina อย่างเต็มรูปแบบได้ - ก็ต่อเมื่อ ค่า ONI เกินกว่าค่าที่กําหนดไว้ไม่น้อยกว่า 5 ช่วงการวัดติดต่อกัน (หนึ่งช่วง การวัดคือค่าเฉลี่ยของทุกสามเดือน) at least 5 consecutive overlapping 3-month seasons

  • 8. ENSO: Recent Evolution, Current Status and Predictions Update prepared by: Climate Prediction Center / NCEP 4 September 2017
  • 9. Outline Summary Recent Evolution and Current Conditions Oceanic Niño Index (ONI) Pacific SST Outlook Summary
  • 10. Summary * Note: These statements are updated once a month (2nd Thursday of each month) in association with the ENSO Diagnostics Discussion, which can be found by clicking here. ENSO Alert System Status: Not Active ENSO-Neutral conditions are present.* Equatorial sea surface temperatures (SSTs) are near-to-below average across the central and eastern Pacific Ocean. ENSO-Neutral is favored (~85% chance during Jul-Sep, decreasing to ~55% during Dec-Feb) through the Northern Hemisphere winter 2017-18.*
  • 11. Below average SSTs were observed over most of the central and eastern Pacific Ocean through January 2017. During January and February 2017, above-average SSTs expanded within the eastern Pacific Ocean. From mid April to July 2017, near-to- above average SSTs were evident across most of the equatorial Pacific. In the last month, above-average temperatures have dissipated across the central and eastern Pacific. In the last week, SSTs were near-to- below average over the eastern Pacific. Recent Evolution of Equatorial Pacific SST Departures (oC)
  • 12. Niño Region SST Departures (oC) Recent Evolution The latest weekly SST departures are: Niño 4 0.2ºC Niño 3.4 -0.2ºC Niño 3 -0.4ºC Niño 1+2 -0.2ºC
  • 13. SST Departures (oC) in the Tropical Pacific During the Last Four Weeks During the last four weeks, equatorial SSTs were near-to-below average across the central and eastern Pacific Ocean, and above average in the western Pacific. 2630
  • 14. Global SST Departures (oC) During the Last Four Weeks During the last four weeks, equatorial SSTs were above average in western/central Atlantic, the western Indian, and in the far western Pacific Oceans. SSTs were below average near Indonesia, and in portions of the central and eastern Pacific. 2630
  • 15. Weekly SST Departures during the Last Four Weeks During the last four weeks, below-average SSTs have emerged across portions of the central and eastern Pacific Ocean.
  • 16. Change in Weekly SST Departures over the Last Four Weeks During the last four weeks, changes in SST anomalies were negative east of the International Date Line.
  • 17. Upper-Ocean Conditions in the Equatorial Pacific The basin-wide equatorial upper ocean (0-300 m) heat content is greatest prior to and during the early stages of a Pacific warm (El Niño) episode (compare top 2 panels), and least prior to and during the early stages of a cold (La Niña) episode. The slope of the oceanic thermocline is least (greatest) during warm (cold) episodes. Recent values of the upper-ocean heat anomalies (near average) and thermocline slope index (near average) reflect ENSO-Neutral conditions. The monthly thermocline slope index represents the difference in anomalous depth of the 20ºC isotherm between the western Pacific (160ºE-150ºW) and the eastern Pacific (90º-140ºW).
  • 18. Central and Eastern Pacific Upper-Ocean (0-300 m) Weekly Average Temperature Anomalies Negative subsurface temperature anomalies were present through December 2016. Positive anomalies were present from mid-January through March 2017 before weakening to near zero. Starting in mid-April and mid-June, positive anomalies strengthened before tapering off again. Since mid-July, anomalies have decreased and are negative.
  • 19. Sub-Surface Temperature Departures in the Equatorial Pacific Most recent pentad analysis Since late July, negative subsurface anomalies strengthened at depth, with the strongest anomalies between 160ºW-90ºW. In the last two months, subsurface positive temperature anomalies have been replaced by negative temperature anomalies across the Pacific.
  • 20. Tropical OLR and Wind Anomalies During the Last 30 Days Weak, negative OLR anomalies (enhanced convection and precipitation) were evident near Indonesia. Weak, positive OLR anomalies (reduced convection and precipitation) were present over the western equatorial Pacific Ocean. Low-level (850-hPa) winds were anomalous easterly over the western tropical Pacific. Upper-level (200-hPa) winds were anomalous easterly over a small region of the east-central equatorial Pacific.
  • 21. Intraseasonal Variability Intraseasonal variability in the atmosphere (wind and pressure), which is often related to the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO), can significantly impact surface and subsurface conditions across the Pacific Ocean. Related to this activity: Significant weakening of the low-level easterly winds usually initiates an eastward- propagating oceanic Kelvin wave.
  • 22. Weekly Heat Content Evolution in the Equatorial Pacific Equatorial oceanic Kelvin waves have alternating warm and cold phases. The warm phase is indicated by dashed lines. Down- welling and warming occur in the leading portion of a Kelvin wave, and up-welling and cooling occur in the trailing portion. From February 2017 through May 2017, positive subsurface temperature anomalies persisted in the western and eastern Pacific Ocean, with oceanic Kelvin waves resulting in anomalous temperature variability in the central Pacific. Recently, an upwelling Kelvin wave is associated with below-average subsurface temperatures across the east-central and eastern equatorial Pacific.
  • 23. Low-level (850-hPa) Zonal (east-west) Wind Anomalies (m s-1) Low-level easterly wind anomalies generally persisted over the central and western equatorial Pacific from mid September 2016 to mid April 2017 and again since May 2017. Since January 2017, westerly wind anomalies were generally observed over the eastern Pacific Ocean. Westerly Wind Anomalies (orange/red shading) Easterly Wind Anomalies (blue shading)
  • 24. Upper-level (200-hPa) Velocity Potential Anomalies Unfavorable for precipitation (brown shading) Favorable for precipitation (green shading) Note: Eastward propagation is not necessarily indicative of the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO). At least from January to late July 2017, anomalous upper-level divergence (green shading) generally persisted near Indonesia, while anomalous convergence (brown shading) persisted near the Date Line. Eastward propagation of regions of upper-level divergence (green shading) and convergence (brown shading) is particularly evident during January- February 2017, April-May 2017, and July- August 2017.
  • 25. Outgoing Longwave Radiation (OLR) Anomalies Drier-than-average Conditions (orange/red shading) Wetter-than-average Conditions (blue shading) From early September 2016 to mid April 2017, positive OLR anomalies persisted near the International Date Line, with negative OLR anomalies persisting near the Maritime Continent/far western Pacific Ocean. From mid-May to late July 2017, OLR anomalies were negative near Indonesia. Recently, positive OLR anomalies have returned to the western Pacific Ocean.
  • 26. Oceanic Niño Index (ONI) The ONI is based on SST departures from average in the Niño 3.4 region, and is a principal measure for monitoring, assessing, and predicting ENSO. Defined as the three-month running-mean SST departures in the Niño 3.4 region. Departures are based on a set of improved homogeneous historical SST analyses (Extended Reconstructed SST – ERSST.v4). The SST reconstruction methodology is described in Huang et al., 2015, J. Climate, vol. 28, 911-930.) It is one index that helps to place current events into a historical perspective
  • 27. NOAA Operational Definitions for El Niño and La Niña El Niño: characterized by a positive ONI greater than or equal to +0.5ºC. La Niña: characterized by a negative ONI less than or equal to -0.5ºC. By historical standards, to be classified as a full-fledged El Niño or La Niña episode, these thresholds must be exceeded for a period of at least 5 consecutive overlapping 3-month seasons. CPC considers El Niño or La Niña conditions to occur when the monthly Niño3.4 OISST departures meet or exceed +/- 0.5ºC along with consistent atmospheric features. These anomalies must also be forecasted to persist for 3 consecutive months.
  • 28. ONI (ºC): Evolution since 1950 The most recent ONI value (June – August 2017) is -0.1ºC. El Niño La Niña Neutral
  • 29. Historical El Niño and La Niña Episodes Based on the ONI computed using ERSST.v4 Recent Pacific warm (red) and cold (blue) periods based on a threshold of +/- 0.5 ºC for the Oceanic Nino Index (ONI) [3 month running mean of ERSST.v4 SST anomalies in the Nino 3.4 region (5N-5S, 120-170W)]. For historical purposes, periods of below and above normal SSTs are colored in blue and red when the threshold is met for a minimum of 5 consecutive over-lapping seasons. The ONI is one measure of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation, and other indices can confirm whether features consistent with a coupled ocean-atmosphere phenomenon accompanied these periods.

  • 30. CPC/IRI Probabilistic ENSO Outlook Updated: 10 August 2017 ENSO-Neutral is favored (~85% chance during Jul-Sep, decreasing to ~55% during Dec-Feb) through the Northern Hemisphere winter 2017-18.
  • 31. IRI/CPC Pacific Niño 3.4 SST Model Outlook Figure provided by the International Research Institute (IRI) for Climate and Society (updated 18 August 2017). Most models and the multi-model averages predict ENSO-Neutral through the remainder of the year and into early 2018.

  • 33. Atmospheric anomalies over the North Pacific and North America During the Last 60 Days 1 of 3 Since early July 2017, an anomalous trough (and below-average temperatures) was more common over parts of central/eastern N. America. Over the western contiguous U.S., an anomalous ridge (and above-average temperatures) generally prevailed.
  • 34. 2 of 3 Atmospheric anomalies over the North Pacific and North America During the Last 60 Days Since late June 2017, an anomalous trough (and below-average temperatures) was more common over parts of central/eastern N. America. Over the western contiguous U.S., an anomalous ridge (and above-average temperatures) generally prevailed.
