Oceanic oscillations are large-scale climate patterns that involve significant variations in sea surface temperatures and atmospheric pressure across vast ocean basins. These oscillations can have profound impacts on global weather and climate.
El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO)
Involves fluctuations in sea surface temperatures and atmospheric pressure across the Pacific Ocean.
Includes two phases: El Niño and La Niña.
Significant impacts on global weather patterns, including rainfall, temperature, and wind patterns.
Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO)
A long-term climate pattern in the Pacific Ocean, characterized by fluctuations in sea surface temperatures over a timescale of decades.
Can influence weather patterns, including rainfall and temperature, over North America and other regions.
Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO)
A long-term climate pattern in the Atlantic Ocean, characterized by fluctuations in sea surface temperatures over a timescale of decades.
Can influence hurricane activity, precipitation patterns, and other aspects of climate in the Atlantic region.
Impacts of Oceanic Oscillations
Significant impacts on global weather patterns, including rainfall, temperature, and wind patterns.
Influence on marine ecosystems, affecting fisheries and other marine life.
Socioeconomic impacts on agriculture, fisheries, and human health.
