The Atlantic Multidecadal
Oscillation (AMO) or Variability (AMV) is a mode of low frequency (i.e.,
decadal to multidecadal)
climate variability centered over the North Atlantic basin.
More recent work is identifying
climate shifts working through the El Niño - Southern
Oscillation (ENSO), Atlantic Multidecadal
Oscillation (AMO), Pacific
Decadal Oscillation (PDO), North Atlantic
Oscillation (NAO), Southern and Northern Annular Modes (SAM and NAM), Artic
Oscillation (AO), Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD), North Pacific
Oscillation (NPO) and other measures of ocean and atmospheric states.
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 Pacific.
We do know that ocean basins produce this oscillatory behavior — the El Nino / Southern
Oscillation, the Arctic
Oscillation, the Pacific
Decadal Oscialltion, the NAO, the Madden - Julian
Oscillation (Indian Ocean), but they seem to have a bit of a random component, their forcing mechanisms are poorly understood, their «phase changes» appear impossible to predict very far in advance, and they must also be sensitive to the overall
climate warming.
The long time range of this dataset allows scientists to examine better long time scale
climate processes such as the Pacific
Decadal Oscillation and the Atlantic Multidecadal
Oscillation as well as looking at the dynamics of historical
climate and weather events.

Interactions between externally - forced
climate signals from sunspot peaks and the internally - generated Pacific
Decadal and North Atlantic
Oscillations «When the PDO is in phase with the 11 year sunspot cycle there are positive SLP anomalies in the Gulf of Alaska, nearly no anomalous zonal SLP gradient across the equatorial Pacific, and a mix of small positive and negative SST anomalies there.
Additional interests include the effects of the Pacific Ocean on the
climate of British Columbia and how those effects are transmitted through such phenomena as El Niño / Southern
Oscillation, the Pacific
Decadal Oscillation, and the atmospheric teleconnections they induce.
Known
climate oscillations resulting from these interactions, include the Pacific
decadal oscillation, North Atlantic
oscillation, and Arctic
oscillation.
The models exhibit large variations in the rate of warming from year to year and over a decade, owing to
climate variations such as ENSO, the Atlantic Multi-
Decadal Oscillation and Pacific
Decadal Oscillation.
