The connection between orbital mechanics, solar variability and climate is complex.| Andy May Petrophysicist
By Andy May The Oceanic Niño Index or ONI is NOAA’s primarily indicator for monitoring the sea surface temperature (SST) anomaly in the critical Niño 3.4 region. It is a 3-month running mean of ERS…| Andy May Petrophysicist
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
The Length of Day correlates with meridional circulation and global warming and cooling.| 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
