     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.
