J-SCOPE forecast results for the simulation beginning in April of 2013 are shown in the right panels. Each panel represents a monthly average for the region. The regional climatology from Venegas et al, 2008 is provided on the left for reference, although it covers a slightly larger area than the modeled domain. The forecast projects that the Sea Surface Temperatures (SSTs) will be higher than the climatology for the region in May and June of 2013. The forecast projects that the SSTs will be equivalent the climatology for the months of July - August of 2013.
