Data Set of Southern Oscillations

Source and Background The southern oscillation is defined as the barametric pressure difference between Tahiti and the Darwin Islands at sea level. The southern oscillation is a predictor of el nino which in turn is thought to be a driver of world-wide weather. Specifically, repeated southern oscillation values less than -1 typically defines an el nino. Note: the decimal values in the second column of the data given below are obtained as (month number - 0.5)/12. The reader can download the data as a text file.
