Well, it depends on how you look at it. In terms of Oceanic Nino Index (ONI), 1997-98 and 2015-16 tied. However in terms of weekly values the 2015-16 event was stronger. One major difference between the 1997-98 and 2015-16 events is that the warmest water was father east in 1997-98 than 2015-16, likely why 1997 was less active than 2015 in the Atlantic.
