AO phases are analogous to the Southern Hemisphere’s Antarctic oscillation (AAO), a similar pattern of air pressure and jet stream anomalies in the Southern Hemisphere. Viewed from above either pole, these patterns show a characteristic ring-shape or "annular" pattern; thus, AO and AAO are also referred to as the northern annular mode (NAM) and southern annular mode (SAM), respectively. 4, record 1, English, - Arctic%20oscillation
