Indo-Pacific climate indices (model covariates) considered in this analysis. Indices representing El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) include: NINO1 + 2, NINO3, NINO4, NINO3.4, Southern Oscillation Index (SOI), ENSO Modoki Index (EMI), Coupled ENSO Index (CEI), Oceanic Nino Index (ONI), Trans NINO Index (TNI) and ENSO Longitude Index (ELI). Other indices considered include the Southern Annular Mode (SAM), Indian Ocean Dipole West pole (IOD W), Indian Ocean Dipole East pole (IOD E), and the Dipole Mode Index (DMI). Ten predictor model combinations used in analysis are summarised to the right of the panel and in Table 1. Monthly averaged lags (lag 1–6) are generated for each outlook initiation period.
