Hi Abdus/Andrew,<br>
<br>
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:<br>
<br>
"define nino4=aave(sstanom,lon=-150,lon=160,lat=-5,lat=5)”<br>
<br>
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<br>
<br>
"define nino4=aave(sstanom,lon=160,lon=-150,lat=-5,lat=5)”<br>
<br>
will give an operation error (min lon > max lon).<br>
<br>
Instead you could try either:<br>
<br>
1. define two different boxes across the dateline:<br>
define nino4a = aave(sstanom,lon=160,lon=180,lat=-5,lat=5)<br>
define nino4b = aave(sstanom,lon=-180,lon=-150,lat=-5,lat=5)<br>
define nino4 = ( 20 * nino4a + 30 * nino4b ) / 50.0<br>
<br>
2. if the file is global and continuous, you might be able to use<br>
define nino4 = aave(sstanom,lon=340,lon=390,lat=-5,lat=5)<br>

I think that you are setting up the anomalies correctly.
However, you may have a problem with your NINO4 domain:<br>

<br>
In GrADS, longitudes need to be ascending.<br>
<br>
I think that you want to reverse your longitudes so you have<br>
<br>
"define nino4=aave(sstanom,lon=160,lon=-150,lat=-5,lat=5)”
OR "define nino4=aave(sstanom,lon=160,lon=210,lat=-5,lat=5)”<br>

Now, I can prepare El Nino series as well as temporal
correlation. However, I am not confident enough whether I
am right or wrong. 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.<br>

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?<br>
