In fact, the 7.3 - 14.7 and 14.7 - 29.3 frequency bands may contain contributions from El Niño Southern
Oscillation (ENSO), although the
time scale of ENSO is from 3 - 8
years.
Once you fix the «long» to be a particular
time scale of interest (say 10
years or 100) you'll see non-periodic
oscillations on greater
time scales.
Since a primary driver of the Earth's climate from
year to
year is the El Nino Southern
Oscillation (ENSO) acts on
time scales on the order of 2 - 7
years, and the fact that the bulk of the Southern Hemisphere hurricane season occurs from October — March, a reasonable interpretation of global hurricane activity requires a better metric than simply calendar
year totals.
El Niño - Southern
Oscillation (ENSO), a coupled fluctuation in the atmosphere and the equatorial Pacific Ocean, with preferred
time scales of two to about seven
years.
Abstract — 2008 Climate and wildfires in the North American boreal forest... Climate controls the area burned through changing the dynamics of large -
scale teleconnection patterns (Pacific Decadal
Oscillation / El Niño Southern
Oscillation and Arctic
Oscillation, PDO / ENSO and AO) that control the frequency of blocking highs over the continent at different
time scales......... Since the end of the Little Ice Age, the climate has been unusually moist and variable: large fire
years have occurred in unusual
years, fire frequency has decreased and fire — climate relationships have occurred at interannual to decadal
time scales...... http://rstb.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/363/1501/2315.short ----------------------
The stadium wave effect seems most plausible to me because on the surface of the globe this effect will be felt at the regional level and rippling to neighboring regions (spatial networking) over
oscillation time scales of around 60
years.
The decadal -
scale mode associated with the Arctic
Oscillation (AO) and a low - frequency oscillation (LFO) with an approximate time scale of 60 - 80 years
Oscillation (AO) and a low - frequency
oscillation (LFO) with an approximate time scale of 60 - 80 years
oscillation (LFO) with an approximate
time scale of 60 - 80
years, dominate.
Now forced to explain the warming hiatus, Trenberth has flipped flopped about the PDO's importance writing «One of the things emerging from several lines is that the IPCC has not paid enough attention to natural variability, on several
time scales,» «especially El Niños and La Niñas, the Pacific Ocean phenomena that are not yet captured by climate models, and the longer term Pacific Decadal
Oscillation (PDO) and Atlantic Multidecadal
Oscillation (AMO) which have cycle lengths of about 60
years.»
Changes on a
time scale of 30
years would be hard to see in most proxy records, particularly if they are preceded and followed by 20 - 50
year oscillations.
This article makes use of recent findings about the relatively short decadal or multi decadal (20 to 30
years) oceanic
oscillations that, the writer contends, are short enough to bring the
time scales involved in oceanic changes into line with the solar cycles of 11
years or so.
OOOH... What a great idea... Let's take an chaotic system, with variable and constant inputs, multiple non-linearities, periodic, pseudo-periodic, and aperiodic
oscillations with
time scales of seconds to millenia and size
scales of centimeters to thousands of kilometers, all of which are coupled, and apply a linear regression on 37
years of data.
Further, following your google hint, a few models popped up, e.g. this one that says in abstract: «A box model of the ocean - atmosphere - sea ice - land ice climate system is used to study a novel mechanism for self - sustained
oscillations of the climate system on a
time scale of 100,000
years, without external forcing.»
