Not exact matches

Several factors can have a large impact on short - term temperatures, such as oceanic cycles like the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) or the 11 - year solar cycle.

In short, Swanson and Tsonis hypothesized that when various natural oceanic cycles (PDO, AMO, etc.) synchronize (i.e. in their positive or negative phases), they can cause a short - term warming or cooling which could be described as a «climate regime shift.»

There are also a number of effects which can have a large impact on short - term temperatures, such as oceanic cycles like the El Niño Southern Oscillation or the 11 - year solar cycle.

It takes decades (even centuries) for (deep) oceanic heat transport to manifest at the surface so we see a combination of short - term heat manifestation as a result of the 11 yr solar cycle and longer - term variation.

In particular that could provide a plausible connection to the longer term climate and oceanic cycling that I have referred to.

M. carey, oceanic / atmospheric cycles do have long - term trends.

However, ENSO is an oceanic cycle which merely moves heat around between oceans and the surface, and thus can not cause a long - term warming trend.

For example, there are oceanic cycles like the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO, comprised of El Niño and La Niña events), an 11 - year solar cycle, and particulates released during volcanic eruptions which cause short - term cooling by blocking sunlight.

But as for long - term (decadal) oceanic events such as the AMO — do they actually exist as some sort of real physical cycle, or are they only a collection of random natural variations that we interpret in our minds as some sort of «real» thing?

Several factors can have a large impact on short - term temperatures, such as oceanic cycles like the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) or the 11 - year solar cycle.
