The Pacific decadal oscillation

NJ Mantua, SR Hare - Journal of oceanography, 2002‏ - Springer
Abstract The Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) has been described by some as a long-lived
El Niño-like pattern of Pacific climate variability, and by others as a blend of two sometimes …

Atmospheric bridge, oceanic tunnel, and global climatic teleconnections

Z Liu, M Alexander - Reviews of Geophysics, 2007‏ - Wiley Online Library
We review teleconnections within the atmosphere and ocean, their dynamics and their role
