Some of these changes are significant for decadal variability of surface temperature. (watertechbyrie.com)
Roemmich et al (2007) suggest that mid-latitude gyres in all of the oceans are influenced by decadal variability in the Southern and Northern Annular Modes (SAM and NAM respectively) as wind driven currents in baroclinic oceans (Sverdrup, 1947). (watertechbyrie.com)
I haven't seen you around on previous threads here, shewonk: this month I'd particularly recommend Chief Hydrologist on decadal variability of clouds and the brilliant follow - up by Tomas Milanovic on spatio - temporal chaos. (judithcurry.com)
