1) for the 6 strong El Niños in the graph, how many of them were considered  CP (Modokai) El Niños vs EP (classic) El Niños, and what was the resulting strength of the La Niña?  I believe the 2015-2016 El Niño might have been Modokai but not sure.

2) with a multi-year La Niña flipping to strong El Niño flipping back (presumably) to La Niña, are you seeing many atmospheric variables that are following the trends in the 2 possibly similar cases in the data (1970-74 and 2007-2011)?  Both of those subsequent La Nina’s were strong and contained high impact weather events.
