[ ] Charles finds that 50% of SST variability in BC is due to El Nino etc, the rest correlates with nothing.
[ ] Doing an empirical orthogonal function analysis, 1st mode found that whole coast (California to here I think) goes up and down together with El Nino. 2nd mode is a north/south see-saw with BC being null (the pivot). 3rd was to do with California Current, and had to keep going a few more I think to get anything to do with BC.
