Number of Triple Dip La Ninas
Permalink
When trying to quantify the # of triple dip La Nina events since 1950 using the CPC ONI Table, one comes up with 2 previous events using the cold season only (i.e. Nov thru March). 1973-1975 and 1998-2000. However, what about 1954-1956? "Triple dip" status was clearly achieved in the April thru October time frame, but not during the cold season. Is this the reason why this potential "triple dip" is not included in your excellent blog?
