News Finding: This prompts a commensurate anomaly east of the Philippine Islands, which, in turn, results in a strengthening or weakening of the jet stream in the Northern Hemisphere, having a direct influence on the amount of rain that falls on California between November and March.

News Context: "Knowing how much rain to expect in the coming winter is crucial for the economy, water security and ecosystem management of the region." This prompts a commensurate anomaly east of the Philippine Islands, which, in turn, results in a strengthening or weakening of the jet stream in the Northern Hemisphere, having a direct influence on the amount of rain that falls on California between November and March. UCI research gives resource managers a new tool for predicting winter rainfall months in advance.
Paper Context: Note that this behavior is well-known to be also associated with ENSO events 35 , yet in the last three to four decades, ENSO did not correlate significantly with precipitation amount for many regions along the west coast ( Supplementary Fig. 10) . The proposed mechanism of NZI reveals a western Pacific pathway and can be summarized by the following three subprocesses ( Fig.
