Actually, the first half of this statement is false. 2015 was the year of the strongest El Niño ever recorded, and it was not a Modoki. In reality, a Modoki El Niño produces unfavorable conditions over the Eastern Pacific as opposed to the Atlantic due to warmer SSTs farther west along the equatorial Pacific. However, you are correct that this last occurred in 2004.
