As we learn more about the interaction of the atmosphere and oceans the wealth of accumulated knowledge becomes a veritable alphabet soup of acronyms.  This page is designed to serve as a jumping off point for information and data about some of these interactions.
 
Common acronyms:
  • AO:  Arctic Oscillation
  • AAO:  Antarctic Oscillation
  • ENSO:  El Niño Southern Oscillation
  • MJO:  Madden-Julian Oscillation
  • NAO:  North American Oscillation
  • OLR:  Outgoing Longwave Radiation
  • PDO:  Pacific Decadal Oscillation
  • PNA:  Pacific North American
  • SOI:  Southern Oscillation Index
