RE: RE: NAO

Is there somewhere a more comprehensive reading that ties together ENSO and both NAO as well as PDO? Would be great if blogs like this included that information and how they think it might affect specific regions of the country (especially the boom or bust West Coast winter precip) in combination with ENSO.
Last year many started off as being rather pessimistic about the precip outlook for California especially, but then we got hammered with several atmo rivers that made from one of the highest rain seasons ever. I still haven't been able to wrap my head around how that outlook was so off. The only thing I can see as far as SST anoms was that we suddenly got a very large and colder than average region in the North Pacific where previously the "warm blob" had setup in years prior, feeding the "ridiculously resilient ridge."
