Researchers from the University of California Irvine have shown that a phenomenon known as the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO)-- a natural pattern of variation in North Atlantic sea surface temperatures that switches between a positive and negative phase every 60 - 70 years — can affect an atmospheric circulation pattern, known as the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), that influences the temperature and precipitation over the Northern Hemisphere in winter.

However, the claims by certain scientists that the extremely active hurricane seasons of 2004/2005 were due to a cyclic phenomenon in the Atlantic ocean known as the «Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation», in which an accelerating Gulf Stream causes warm water to move northward, were quite astounding and also unsupported.

As noted in that post, RealClimate defines the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation («AMO») as, «A multidecadal (50 - 80 year timescale) pattern of North Atlantic ocean - atmosphere variability whose existence has been argued for based on statistical analyses of observational and proxy climate data, and coupled Atmosphere - Ocean General Circulation Model («AOGCM») simulationAs noted in that post, RealClimate defines the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation («AMO») as, «A multidecadal (50 - 80 year timescale) pattern of North Atlantic ocean - atmosphere variability whose existence has been argued for based on statistical analyses of observational and proxy climate data, and coupled Atmosphere - Ocean General Circulation Model («AOGCM») Multidecadal Oscillation («AMO») as, «A multidecadal (50 - 80 year timescale) pattern of North Atlantic ocean - atmosphere variability whose existence has been argued for based on statistical analyses of observational and proxy climate data, and coupled Atmosphere - Ocean General Circulation Model («AOGCM») simulationas, «A multidecadal (50 - 80 year timescale) pattern of North Atlantic ocean - atmosphere variability whose existence has been argued for based on statistical analyses of observational and proxy climate data, and coupled Atmosphere - Ocean General Circulation Model («AOGCM») multidecadal (50 - 80 year timescale) pattern of North Atlantic ocean - atmosphere variability whose existence has been argued for based on statistical analyses of observational and proxy climate data, and coupled Atmosphere - Ocean General Circulation Model («AOGCM») simulations.

They found that between 5 % and 30 % of the Arctic sea ice decline from 1979 to 2010 could be attributed to the natural cycles of the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) and Arctic Oscillation (AO), and even less can be attributed to natural cycles since 1953, since these natural cycles tend to average out over longer timeframes (as Vinnikov also found).

This tells us that, no matter how important ENSO is as a mechanism for redistributing the excess heat of the equatorial Pacific, it is NOT the mechanism that drives the multidecadal oscillations of global temperatures.

Natural variables like the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) and the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) are cited as the causes for these variations.

The decadal variations of the AMOC obtained in that way are shown to precede the observed decadal variations in basin - wide North Atlantic sea surface temperature (SST), known as the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) which strongly impacts societally important quantities such as Atlantic hurricane activity and Sahel rainfall.

Zhang and Delworth and Zhang et al. showed by using models that, as the northward surface heat transport by the AMOC is increased, the global atmospheric heat transport decreases in compensation (and vice versa), providing a multidecadal component to the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO).

Judith's point that AO and PO oscillations and multidecadal waves which may go in 60, 80 or 100 year cycles is completely ignored by saying that Natural variation should be ignored over a long time as it reverts to the mean.

Between them, the phenomena known to meteorologists as the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation and the Pacific Decadal Oscillation could account for the seeming slowdown in predicted temperature rises.

What was done, was to take a large number of models that could not reasonably simulate known patterns of natural behaviour (such as ENSO, the Pacific Decadal Oscillation, the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation), claim that such models nonetheless accurately depicted natural internal climate variability, and use the fact that these models could not replicate the warming episode from the mid seventies through the mid nineties, to argue that forcing was necessary and that the forcing must have been due to man.

Additionally, several climatological oscillatory mode data will be used as controls to assess the correlations between GCR flux, solar activity, and cloud cover: specifically the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO), the multivariate El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO), the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO), and the Quasi-Biennial Oscillation (QBO).

Wu et al. (7, 8) pointed out the importance of this mode in the modern global temperature record with a period of 65 y: If it is interpreted as natural and related to the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO)(9 ⇓ ⇓ — 12), then the trend attributed to anthropogenic warming should be significantly reduced after ∼ 1980, when the AMO was in a rising phase.

A debate concerns the nature of these increases with some studies attributing them to a natural climate fluctuation, known as the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO), and others suggesting climate change related to anthropogenic increases in radiative forcing from greenhouse - gases.

IPCC's warming rate of 0.2 deg C / decade is not the climate signal as it includes the warming rate due to the warming phase of the multidecadal oscillation.

Analyses of global climate from measurements dating back to the nineteenth century show an «Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation» (AMO) as a leading large - scale pattern of multidecadal variability in surface Multidecadal Oscillation» (AMO) as a leading large - scale pattern of multidecadal variability in surface multidecadal variability in surface temperature.

The multidecadal oscillation of about 63 deg C period should not be considered as they are transient.

Never mind the fact that those same models were unable to reproduce large scale natural climate variability such as the Pacific Decadal Oscillation, the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation and ENSO.

However in 2010, the Atlantic saw 19 tropical storms, of which 12 became hurricanes as expected (and forecasted) due to the intense La Nina event and continued positive Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO).
