Re: Retirement of names

Not asking too much:

For the explanations, you're going to have to google search some of this stuff, but here's off the top of my head:

SST - Sea Surface Temperature
SSTA - Sea Surface Temperature Anomalies (departures from normal based on "x" years)
ULL - Upper Level Low
MLC - Mid Level Circulation
LLC - Low Level Circulation
TUTT - Tropical Upper Troposphereic Trough
MJO - Madden-Julian Oscillation (1 "L" or 2?)
AO - Artic Oscillation
SOI - Southern Oscillation Index
PDO - Pacific Decadal Oscillation
QBO - Quasi-biennial Oscillation

If you can think of any more, PM me and I'll try to get you answers.

As for the $0.50 a day comment, his column was low key today in comparison to what you usually get. You also get about 20 kinds of radar, forecast models and 2 or 3 daily streaming videos from Joe which pictoralize his commentary.
