It also shifts in response to interannual and
decadal changes in sea surface temperatures in the tropical Pacific.
But I have been interested in changes in sea surface temperature and cloud change and especially how
these decadal changes in sea surface temperature influenced cloud formation.

The study stops short of attributing California's latest drought to
changes in Arctic
sea ice, partly because there are other phenomena that play a role, like warm
sea surface temperatures and
changes to the Pacific
Decadal Oscillation, an atmospheric climate pattern that typically shifts every 20 to 30 years.
Long - term (
decadal and multi-
decadal) variation
in total annual streamflow is largely influenced by quasi-cyclic
changes in sea -
surface temperatures and resulting climate conditions; the influence of climate warming on these patterns is uncertain.
In 2014 climate scientists published a peer - reviewed paper (Johnstone 2014) suggesting that climate change along the coast of North America could be best explained by natural cycles of Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) due to its affects on sea surface temperatures in the eastern Pacifi

The Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) is a naturally occurring pattern of
sea surface temperature change that is seen
in the North Atlantic Ocean on
decadal timescales and affects weather and climate.
Concerning
decadal changing trends of CO2 content
in atmosphere I have expressed that they are caused by
changing temperatures of
sea surface water on the seasurface areas where seasurface CO2 sinks are.
The large interannual to
decadal hydroclimatic variability
in winter precipitation is highly influenced by
sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies
in the tropical Pacific Ocean and associated
changes in large - scale atmospheric circulation patterns [16].
Regional circulation patterns have significantly
changed in recent years.2 For example,
changes in the Arctic Oscillation can not be explained by natural variation and it has been suggested that they are broadly consistent with the expected influence of human - induced climate
change.3 The signature of global warming has also been identified
in recent
changes in the Pacific
Decadal Oscillation, a pattern of variability
in sea surface temperatures in the northern Pacific Ocean.4
Based on the understanding of both the physical processes that control key climate feedbacks (see Section 8.6.3), and also the origin of inter-model differences
in the simulation of feedbacks (see Section 8.6.2), the following climate characteristics appear to be particularly important: (i) for the water vapour and lapse rate feedbacks, the response of upper - tropospheric RH and lapse rate to interannual or
decadal changes in climate; (ii) for cloud feedbacks, the response of boundary - layer clouds and anvil clouds to a
change in surface or atmospheric conditions and the
change in cloud radiative properties associated with a
change in extratropical synoptic weather systems; (iii) for snow albedo feedbacks, the relationship between
surface air
temperature and snow melt over northern land areas during spring and (iv) for
sea ice feedbacks, the simulation of
sea ice thickness.
The observed
changes (lower panel; Trenberth and Fasullo 2010) show the 12 - month running means of global mean
