Measures the relative surface pressure difference between Darwin Australia and Tahiti. Consistently negative values indicate El Nino, positive values La Nina. Short negative spikes are associated with the active phase of the MJO. Continual active MJO events contribute greatly to the SOI and each individual event can generate westerly wind bursts that result in Kelvin Waves.

Weekly averaged sea surface temperatures (top,°C) and anomalies (bottom,°C) for the past twelve weeks. SST analysis is the optimum interpolation (OI) analysis, while anomalies are departures from the adjusted OI climatology (Reynolds and Smith 1995, J. Climate, 8, 1571-1583).

Notice that the average of many separate runs of many models generally suggesting warmer than normal waters well off Ecuador and slowly settling back to a normal pattern by March 2013 consistent with a weak El Nino at best.
