## Citing this site

Licence: text, charts and the compiled status may be quoted and reused with
attribution - "ElNinoLive.com, retrieved <date>" - and a link to the page used.
The index values themselves are public data of NOAA and the Bureau of
Meteorology: cite the agency for the number and this site for the compilation. Numbers are updated
weekly (NOAA publishes Monday ~09:00 UTC); always state the reading's week.
The conventional weekly Nino 3.4, NOAA's seasonal RONI and BOM's weekly
relative index are three different measures with different thresholds - do not
present one as another.
