The Aleutian Low - Beaufort Sea Anticyclone climate index or ALBSA is designed to predict snow and ice melting times on the North Slope of Alaska.| Andy May Petrophysicist
The AO and NAO are the dominant modes of climate variability in the Northern Hemisphere and neither of them can be reproduced using climate model output.| Andy May Petrophysicist
The NPI and PDO are closely related and do not correlate well with global warming.| Andy May Petrophysicist
Does HadCRUT5 accurately reflect the warming rate of Earth's surface? How do Pacific Ocean SSTs compare?| Andy May Petrophysicist
The AMM, or the Atlantic Meridional Mode, is closely related to Atlantic hurricane activity and poorly modeled in climate models.| Andy May Petrophysicist
The Southern Annular Mode (SAM) has a major influence on global climate.| Andy May Petrophysicist

By Andy May As seen in the first post of this series the AMO (Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation) and the WHWP (Western Hemisphere Warm Pool) area are the two climate oscillations that explain most …| Andy May Petrophysicist
By Andy May Introduction to the “Climate Oscillations” series My last two posts, Musings on the AMO and The Bray Solar Cycle and AMO were fun to research and write, and they helped show that solar …| Andy May Petrophysicist
Did the Bray Solar Cycle play a role in the recent warming of North Atlantic sea surface temperatures?| Andy May Petrophysicist
By Andy May We hear a lot about the AMO, or the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation. How much does it influence the global mean surface temperature or GMST? Exactly what is the AMO? These are the iss…| Andy May Petrophysicist
ENSO-neutral continued in November, with near-average sea surface temperatures (SSTs) observed across the central and eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean [Fig. 1]. Similar to the last couple of months, the latest weekly Niño indices ranged from +0.1°C (Niño-1+2) to -0.4°C (Niño-3; [Fig. 2]). Below-average subsurface ocean temperatures persisted [Fig. 3] across the east-central and eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean [Fig. 4]. Over the western and central equatorial Pacific, low-level wind anom...| www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov
