Record 2 1999-06-21

English

Subject field(s)
  • Climatology
  • Atmospheric Physics
CONT

These studies led [G.T.] Walker to identify three large-scale pressure seesaw patterns; two in the Northern Hemisphere (North Atlantic Oscillation, NAO and North Pacific Oscillation, NPO) and one in the Southern Hemisphere (Southern Oscillation, SO). While the NAO and NPO are essentially regional in nature, the SO has since been recognized as a phenomenon with global-scale influences.
