Second, energy in vs. energy out of the system can hardly balance until we have a better handle on the circulation of the ocean (over 95 % of the heat capacity of Earth) and its rate of heat uptake.
There is also a natural variability of the climate system (about a zero reference point) that produces El Nino and La Nina effects arising from changes in ocean circulation patterns that can make the global temperature increase or decrease, over and above the global warming due to CO2.
Due to the relatively cool waters around the Azores the classical «Azores high» had a good chance to develop and settle, together with low pressure systems around Iceland leading to a strong west circulation (a positive NAO) over Europe.
They produced a static condition when the major natural mechanism causing ozone variation over Antarctica is an intense atmospheric circulation system associated with the Circumpolar Vortex.
According to their modeling studies, the difference in the amount of incoming solar radiation, in this case, primarily in the ultraviolet (UV) wavelengths, during the minima and maxima of the 11 - yr solar cycle are large enough to produce a characteristic change in the winter circulation pattern of the atmosphere over North America... When the NAO is in its negative phase, more cold air can seep south from the Arctic and impact the lower latitudes of Europe and the eastern U.S., which helps spin up winter storm systems.
In recent decades, much research on these topics has raised the questions of «tipping points» and «system flips,» where feedbacks in the system compound to rapidly cause massive reorganization of global climate over very short periods of time — a truncation or reorganization of the thermohaline circulation or of food web structures, for instance, caused by the loss of sea ice or warming ocean temperatures.
As the Sun cools with amplification through the systems — as El Nino gives way to La Nina dominance — as Atlantic meridional overturning circulation declines over the century.
Tropical cyclones are low pressure systems that form over warm tropical waters and have well defined wind circulations of at least gale force strength (sustained winds of 63 km / h or greater with gusts in excess of 90 km / h).
«The Walker circulation is caused by the pressure gradient force that results from a high pressure system over the eastern Pacific ocean, and a low pressure system over Indonesia.
Over time some of those local systems join to feed each other or inhibit each other and then you have large scale circulations.

It is a signal that propagates over decades through the components — ice, ocean and atmospheric circulation and biology — of the climate system.
The evidence in favour of such a link is the observation that the ITCZ and other air circulation system components have changed over those longer time spans.
«Relatively cool waters in the eastern Pacific often result in stubborn summer high - pressure systems over the eastern states that block storms, reducing the frequency of precipitation below normal,» noted study co-author Richard Healy of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Woods Hole, Mass. «Less frequent storms result in higher surface and atmospheric temperatures that then feedback on the atmospheric circulation to further reduce storm frequency and raise surface temperatures even more.»
