<div>Dear All,</div>
<div>I created a graphic that depicts ensemble forecast plumes with embedded histograms at each lead time. The plots convey information about the variability in the ensemble in a clear and easy-to-interpret format. The initial application uses forecasts of
NINO3.4 index from the NMME data archive. The web site given below explains the graphic, presents an archive of images, and provides a link to the script, which accesses the data from COLA’s GDS, so you can try it without having to download any data. There’s
a companion web page with an animation of plumes spanning the recent El Nino event — look for the link at the end of the explantory text. </div>
