"Oscillation" refers to a repetitive back and forth movement or change between two points or states. It is like a pendulum swinging or a wave moving up and down.

His speech, titled «Influence of the
Southern Oscillation of Global Temperature» can be viewed below.
Motizuki, T., M. Ishii, M. Kimoto, Y. Chikamoto, M. Watanabe, T. Nozawa, T. Sakamoto, H. Shiogama, T. Awaji, N. Sugiura, T. Toyoda, S. Yasunaka, H. Tatebe, and M. Mori, 2008: Hindcasting the Pacific
Decadal Oscillation in relevance to a near - term climate prediction.
Bamzai, A.S., 2003: Relationship between snow cover variability and
Arctic Oscillation Index on a hierarchy of time scales.
Now she again hijacks marine migrations caused by natural
climate oscillations as «proof» of global warming.
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.
But, in contrast with the El Niño Southern
Oscillation index [12], the NAO and PDO operate on decadal scales, causing extended periods of high or low population abundance [5], [7].

Oscillation as a predictive tool for managing an iconic fishery.»

Julian Oscillation as seen by the A-Train.
Atlantic
Multi-decadal Oscillation index from 1850 to 2005 represented by annual anomalies of SST in the extratropical North Atlantic (30 — 65 ° N; top), and in a more muted fashion in the tropical Atlantic (10 ° N — 20 ° N) SST anomalies (bottom).
Davis speculates these cycles are the result of
oceanic oscillations which frequently operate on a centennial scale bases.
In the case of inconsistent or erratic deployment (either because of shifting public opinions or unilateral action by individual nations), there would be the potential for large and rapid
temperature oscillations between cold and warm climate states.
The left half in the eighties and nineties shows
ENSO oscillations which in your display simply get lost.
Internal oscillations such as PDO, AMO, ENSO, and the like do not affect climate change / global warming unless they have a quantifiable impact on radiative forcing.
But with the shift in the Southern
Oscillation from El Nino to La Nina and the long - term effects of global warming starting to become apparent, we can expect more severe cyclones for at least the next few years, and a general increase in the severity of storms and similar events.
Evans continues his gish gallop by trying to blame the Pacific Decadal
Oscillation for global warming:
This is excluding long
term oscillations in ocean heat transport which could only lower the sensitivity further, perhaps substantially.
Nevertheless
such oscillations do not modify climate change / global warming in any fundamental manner.
«With instruments that examine
global oscillations at low frequency, we can look at the sun's deep interior,» says Joe Gurman, U.S. project scientist for the European Solar and Heliospheric Observatory.
Specifically, they want to find out if
neutrino oscillations occur over short distances (less than 65 feet).
The short and long term variations are perceptible in the trend in the Arctic and the
Antarctic Oscillation Indexes.
What results is a
slow oscillation between different modes of interfacing with an object.
But while the Arctic
oscillation over the past three months was remarkable, he said, the cold temperatures were relatively benign compared to the late 1970s.
The MCA appears related to general surface warming in the Northern Hemisphere, prolonged La Niña conditions [18, 25 — 28], and a persistent positive North Atlantic
Oscillation mode [29].
In contrast, the positive phase of the Southern
Oscillation occurs during La Niña episodes, and refers to the situation when abnormally low air pressure covers Indonesia and the western tropical Pacific and abnormally high air pressure covers the eastern tropical Pacific.
The peer - reviewed report, compiled by 378 scientists from 48 countries around the world, notes that back - to - back La Niñas (the build - up of cool waters in the equatorial eastern Pacific as part of the El Niño Southern
Oscillation cycle) in 2011 affected regional climates and influenced many of the world's significant weather events throughout the year.
Figure 6 shows that December 2009 was the most extreme negative Arctic
Oscillation since the 1970s.
Mann, M.E., J. Park, and R.S. Bradley, 1995: Global inter-decadal and century - scale climate
oscillations during the past five centuries.
The El Nino Southern
Oscillation shows close correlation to global temperatures over the short term.
