Instead you want 160E to 150E, or a mean over 50 longitudes.  I further think Andrew's suggestion

I use the following script for correlating El Nino 4 index with sea level pressure (Jan 1979 to Dec2014). Please confirm me the following command.

However, I would like use to ssta ("d tloop(aave(ssta,lon=100,lon=170,lat=-5,lat=5))") and when I use this the following map is                               found. Could you please suggest me in this regards?
