Nov 13, 2017 · Examination of reanalysis products and a 30-member climate model ensemble confirms that prolonged multiyear marine heatwaves are linked to the dynamics of the two dominant modes of winter sea surface temperature variability in the North Pacific, the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO), and the North Pacific Gyre Oscillation (NPGO).

Mar 23, 2020 · Here, we show how physical and ecological variables mapping onto two leading Pacific Ocean climate indices, the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) and North Pacific Gyre Oscillation (NPGO), have changed over multidecadal time scales.

The decadal dynamics of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) and the North Pacific Gyre Oscillation (NPGO) are linked through their relationships to ENSO. This results provides the basis for a framework for quasi-deterministic decadal oscillations of Pacific climate.

the North Pacific Gyre Oscillation (NPGO). Specifically, we find a significant correlation between winter warm NPGO anomalies and the following winter PDO arising from extratropical/tropical teleconnections.

Recurring atmosphere-ocean climate patterns and indices have significant implications for regional and global climate. Sea surface temperature (SST) anomaly pattern associated with the positive (or warm) phase of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO).

Apr 30, 2008 · We define a new pattern of climate change, the North Pacific Gyre Oscillation (NPGO) and show that its variability is significantly correlated with previously unexplained fluctuations of salinity, nutrients and chlorophyll.

The North Pacific Gyre Oscillation (NPGO) is a climate pattern that emerges as the 2nd dominant mode of sea surface height variability (2nd EOF SSH) in the Northeast Pacific.

Mar 15, 2018 · Like the PDO, the North Pacific Gyre Oscillation (NPGO), representing the second leading mode of sea surface height (SSH) anomalies in the northeast Pacific, is a basin-scale feature and captures prominent low-frequency changes in the Pacific physical and biological fields including temperature, salinity, sea level, nutrients, chlorophyll-a ...

Mar 23, 2020 · Scientists have linked PDO and NPGO fluctuations to changes in seabird populations, marine mammal abundance and distribution, plankton communities, and even the bloom time of lilac and honeysuckle bushes in spring in the western United States.

Here, we show how physical and ecological variables mapping onto two leading Pacific Ocean climate indices, the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) and North Pacific Gyre Oscillation (NPGO), have changed over multidecadal time scales.
