Thank you Joao. That is great to hear that your indices are proving to reflect the current observations for Colombia.

Right now NOAA is producing both indices (relative and traditional) and sharing online. However, the way we decide to declare an event will still use the traditional index. There is a formal structure to how/when we declare an ENSO event, and in order to change that, we have to go through a formal process. We are looking into this.
