Ok, make sense to me, in other words and in compare to 1998, the less negative OHC could be the cause of slowing cooling of the residual warming Area, therefore atmoshere response get also less then in 1998, on the other hand, i dont know how PDO exactly could influence the residual warming pattern. On the subsurface i do agree, with TAO we see a less cooler subsurface (also the Area which is negativ becomes less), so therefore if would speculate, if the trade winds stay normal, we see the next months weak La-Nina or neutral conditions, but to the end of the year, i think there are possibly some chances for a more active trade winds with some Upwelling Waves, but as i said, thats speculate.
