The Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation without a role for ocean circulation
Science, 2015 Ocean circulation changes not needed What causes the pattern of sea surface temperature change that is seen in the North Atlantic Ocean? This naturally occurring quasi-cyclical variation, known as the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO), affects weather and climate.

Remote influence of the Atlantic multidecadal oscillation on the autumn surface air temperature in Southwest China [PDF]
Earth and Planetary PhysicsSouthwest China (SWC) is one of the major grain-producing areas in China, and the surface air temperature (SAT) during autumn has a substantial influence on grain production and planting.

Is the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) a statistical phantom? [PDF]
Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 2011 In this work we critically compare the consequences of two assumptions on the physical nature of the AMO index signal. First, we show that the widely used approach based on red noise statistics cannot fully reproduce the empirical correlation properties ...

Increased multidecadal variability of the North Atlantic Oscillation since 1781
Nature Geoscience, 2008 The North Atlantic Oscillation controls winter climate variability in eastern North America and Europe. Coral-derived records of sea surface temperature in Bermuda suggest that multidecadal variability of the North Atlantic Oscillation has increased in the past few decades relative to the early nineteenth century.

Comment on “The Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation without a role for ocean circulation”
Science, 2016 Clement et al . (Reports, 16 October 2015, p. 320) claim that the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) is a thermodynamic response of the ocean mixed layer to stochastic atmospheric forcing and that ocean circulation changes have no role in causing the AMO. These claims are not justified.

The Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation in models and observations
, 2010 We use a simplified model of the North Atlantic ocean to study the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO), which is a low-frequency variation found in sea surface temperatures (SST) over the North Atlantic ocean. A mechanism for the AMO has previously been described; here we study the excitation of the variability when atmospheric noise is included in

The impact of Atlantic Multidecadal Variability on Baltic Sea temperatures limited to winter
npj Climate and Atmospheric Science, 2023 We analyze multidecadal temperature fluctuations of the Atlantic Ocean and their influence on Northern Europe, focusing on the Baltic Sea, without a priori assuming a linear relationship of this teleconnection. Instead, we use the method of low-frequency
