Large negative values of the SOI indicate a warm event, and large positive values indicate a cold event (also referred to as La Niņa). It is important to note that there is not a one-to-one correspondence between the occurrence of Southern Oscillation events and El Niņo events, using the spatially restrictive original definition of El Niņo.
