|a North Atlantic sea surface temperatures for
1856-1999 contain a 65-80 year cycle with a 0.4 [degrees]C range,
referred to as the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO)
by Kerr [2000]. AMO warm phases occurred during 1860-
1880 and 1940-1960, and cool phases during 1905-1925 and
1970-1990. The signal is global in scope, with a positively
correlated co-oscillation in parts of the North Pacific,
but it is most intense in the North Atlantic and covers
the entire basin there. During AMO warmings most of
the United States sees less than normal rainfall, including
Midwest droughts in the 1930s and 1950s. Between AMO
warm and cool phases, Mississippi River outflow varies by
10% while the inflow to Lake Okeechobee, Florida varies by
40%. The geographical pattern of variability is influenced
mainly by changes in summer rainfall. The winter patterns
of interannual rainfall variability associated with El Nino-
Southern Oscillation are also significantly changed between
AMO phases. |
