Four multi-decadal climate shifts were identified in the last century coinciding with
changes in the surface temperature trajectory.

Not exact matches
It is no coincidence that shifts
in ocean and atmospheric indices occur at the same time as
changes in the
trajectory of global
surface temperature.
Small
changes in initial conditions drive abrupt and nonlinear
change evident
in many of the global ocean and atmospheric indices — and indeed
in the
surface temperature trajectory.
Nor does it seem a coincidence that shifts
in ocean and atmospheric indices occur at the same time as
changes in the
trajectory of global
surface temperature.
For some reasons these
changes correspond exactly to
changes in the
trajectory of
surface temperatures.
Changes in trajectories of global
surface temperature occur at the same times as shifts
in Pacific climate state.
These can be easily seen
in changes in the
trajectory of
surface temperatures.
http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/IOTD/view.php?id=8703 Now I realize that I have quoted Josh Willis form the NASA site before — but this is one of the critical Earth systems for many reasons — perhaps least for the
changes in global
surface temperature trajectory associated with the decadal climate shifts.
Shifts
in ocean
surface temperature mirror the
changes in temperature trajectory precisely.
Coincidentally the same temporal signature for
changes in the
trajectory for
surface temperature?
That the
surface temperature trajectories reflect these
changes in Pacific states is only to be expected.
