ENSO (and
other oceanic / atmospheric oscillations) are not noise — they represent climate change.
«it is necessary to disentangle the simultaneous overlapping positive and negative effects of solar variation, PDO / ENSO and
the other oceanic cycles.
And then I'll dive into clearing out the PDO and
other oceanic signals too and see if what's left.
Remember that there is a variable lag between the initial solar effect of warming or cooling on the Pacific Ocean and that effect then working through all
the other oceanic oscillations so it is difficult to establish the overall balance of the oceanic oscillations at any given time.
At present they are limited to guesses about ENSO but have nothing adequate about
any other oceanic cycles and nothing about air circulation shifts apart from seasonal changes and a simple observation that warming moves them poleward.
«from time to time
the other oceanic cycles can operate in the opposite mode to PDO / ENSO thereby offsetting it until any lag is worked through.
Before it is safe to attribute a global warming or a global cooling effect to any other factor (CO2 in particular) it is necessary to disentangle the simultaneous overlapping positive and negative effects of solar variation, PDO / ENSO and
the other oceanic cycles.
It logically follows that, from time to time,
the other oceanic cycles can operate in conjunction with PDO / ENSO to emphasise the effect on the global temperature.
Other oceanic mechanisms may also agree with the phasing found in the data.

The findings might apply to
other oceanic plates as well.
Seasonal weather fluctuations also depend on factors such as proximity to oceans or other large bodies of water, currents in those oceans, El Nino / ENSO and
other oceanic cycles, and prevailing winds.
Saildrone doesn't aim to replace

«Any bird populations on the continents that could not withstand these levels of predation from cats and
other predators would have disappeared long ago, but populations of birds on
oceanic islands have evolved in circumstances in which predation from mammalian predators was negligible and they, and
other island vertebrates, are therefore particularly vulnerable to predation when cats have been introduced.»
As I've pointed out repeatedly, the claims linking predation by cats to declining bird numbers are largely (
other than on
oceanic islands) unsupported by the evidence.
