Hi Abdus/Andrew,

I'd be cautious of your nino4 as defined.  I presume your data are 
defined -180 to 180, where eastern longitudes are 0 to 180 and western 
longitudes are -180 to 0.  In your line:

"define nino4=aave(sstanom,lon=-150,lon=160,lat=-5,lat=5)”

the longitudes are in fact ascending (-150 is less than 160), however I 
believe this will create a mean from 150W eastward all the way around to 
160E (again, assuming your longitudes are defined -180 to 180), a mean 
over 310 longitudes.  Instead you want 160E to 150E, or a mean over 50 
longitudes.  I further think Andrew's suggestion

"define nino4=aave(sstanom,lon=160,lon=-150,lat=-5,lat=5)”

will give an operation error (min lon > max lon).

Instead you could try either:

1.  define two different boxes across the dateline:
define nino4a = aave(sstanom,lon=160,lon=180,lat=-5,lat=5)
define nino4b = aave(sstanom,lon=-180,lon=-150,lat=-5,lat=5)
define nino4 = ( 20 * nino4a + 30 * nino4b ) / 50.0

2.  if the file is global and continuous, you might be able to use
define nino4 = aave(sstanom,lon=340,lon=390,lat=-5,lat=5)
