"Modoki" is a Japanese word which means "it looks similar to the traditional El Nino from the outer side but actually its internal physics/dynamics is different"......

The "Modoki" or Central-Pacific El Niño debateThe traditional Niño involves temperature anomalies in the Eastern Pacific. However, in the last two decades non-traditional El Niños were observed, in which the usual place of the temperature anomaly (Nino 1 and 2) is not affected, but an anomaly arises in the central Pacific. The phenomenon is called Central Pacific (CP) El Niño, "dateline" El Niño (because the anomaly arises near the dateline).
