Note: Warm (red) <strong>and</strong> cold (blue) episodes based on a threshold <strong>of</strong> +/- 0.5oC for the Oceanic Niño Index<br />

(ONI) [3 month running mean <strong>of</strong> ERSST.v3b SST anomalies in the Niño 3.4 region (5oN-5oS, 120o-<br />

170oW)], based on the 1971-2000 base period. For historical purposes, cold <strong>and</strong> warm episodes (blue<br />

<strong>and</strong> red colored numbers) are defined when the threshold is met for a minimum <strong>of</strong> five consecutive overlapping<br />

seasons.<br />
