Abstract

The Southern Oscillation Index (SOl) based on the version of the Clim3.te Analysis Center (USA), was correlated with rainfall indices of various regions with similar rainfall characteristics in Malaysia. It was found that no correlation exists between the two indices in Peninsular Malaysia (East Coast, West Coast) but some significant correlation exist for the States of Sabah and Sarawak. An attempt has been made to offer some physical explanation to the findings.
