El Nino and La Nino Hovmoller metric scores shown in all metrics tables and graphics are incorrect, resulting in incorrect Mean Scores.

[phillips-ad]

Pattern correlations and rms difference values for El Nino and La Nino Hovmollers shown in metrics tables and metrics graphics are incorrect, resulting in the Mean Scores also being incorrect. A bug in the metrics code was incorrectly restricting the longitudes that these metrics were calculated over. The fix is relatively simple.
In ncl_scripts/metrics.ncl simply remove all instances of the following code: "(:,24:54)". The line numbers where this code is found are lines 186, 295, 296, 353 and 354 of ncl_scripts/metrics.ncl.

Pattern correlations shown in the lower right hand side of individual and summary El Nino and La Nina Hovmoller plots are correct.
