J-SCOPE forecast results for the model run beginning in January of 2025 are shown in the first figure. Each panel represents ensemble averaged anomalies of two month averages for the region. The panels directly under the anomaly plots depict the relative uncertainty from the ensemble for the same time periods.

For waters off the Washington and Oregon coast, the forecast projects that 10-meter integrated chlorophyll will be slightly lower than climatology climatology with the Juan de Fuca Eddy region experiencing a high in the later portion of the upwelling season (July - August). The relative uncertainty is highest at the beginning of the forecast when chlorophyll levels are low, is minimal around the spring transition (March - April) and then remains increases throughout the upwelling season with an uptick in uncertainty in the end (July - August).

The uncertainty is caused by the differences between the three ensemble members wind forcing California Current Indicators.
