Researchers observed a natural, regular,
multidecadal oscillation between periods of Southern Ocean open - sea convection, which can act a release valve for the ocean's heat, and non-convective periods.

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.

multidecadal shifts in regional ocean regimes such as the Pacific El Niño - Southern Oscillation, the North Atlantic Oscillation, and the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation, for example, are bimodal oscillations that cycle between phases of warmer and cooler sea surface t

Mike's work, like that of previous award winners, is diverse, and includes pioneering and highly cited work in time series analysis (an elegant use of Thomson's multitaper spectral analysis approach to detect spatiotemporal
oscillations in the climate record and methods for smoothing temporal data), decadal climate variability (the term «Atlantic
Multidecadal Oscillation» or «AMO» was coined by Mike in an interview with Science's Richard Kerr about a paper he had published with Tom Delworth of GFDL showing evidence in both climate model simulations and observational data for a 50 - 70 year oscillation in the climate system; significantly Mike also published work with Kerry Emanuel in 2006 showing that the AMO concept has been overstated as regards its role in 20th century tropical Atlantic SST changes, a finding recently reaffirmed by a study published in Nature), in showing how changes in radiative forcing from volcanoes can affect ENSO, in examining the role of solar variations in explaining the pattern of the Medieval Climate Anomaly and Little Ice Age, the relationship between the climate changes of past centuries and phenomena such as Atlantic tropical cyclones and global sea level, and even a bit of work in atmospheric chemistry (an analysis of beryllium - 7 mea

This is the type of variability that comes from natural interactions
between the ocean and the atmosphere (i.e., that due to phenomena like the El - Nino / Southern
Oscillation or perhaps the Atlantic
Multidecadal Oscillation).
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).

Additionally, several climatological oscillatory mode data will be used as controls to assess the correlations

They include the Atlantic
Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) that exhibited a warm phase from 1930 - 1965, but with a transient drop
between 1945 and 1948, a Pacific Decadal

By Parker and his colleagues» data and model analysis, this so - called Interdecadal Pacific

That leaves the North Atlantic, but it has another mode of natural variability called the Atlantic
