    Explanation:

    The  Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) is calculated on the basis of the atmospheric pressure differences between South Pacific Ocean and Australia.

    A consistently negative SOI often indicates the presence of an El Nino. A consistently positive SOI often indicates the presence of a La Nina. This also indicates a good Indian monsoon.
