Kerry Emanuel and I do point out in our
piece that past work indicates that the AMO is unlikely to project substantially onto tropical Atlantic SST, and that the
attribution of recent trends in tropical Atlantic SST to the AMO is indeed probably an artifact of the impact
on the tropical Atlantic of competing anthropogenic forcings.
If accepted for publication, the
piece will include full
attribution to the author and firm, including a link to the author's biographical information
on the firm's website.
