The Earth Energy Imbalance (EEI) is calibrated or “tuned” to match changes in ocean heat content. The satellite top-of-the-atmosphere radiation measurements are not accurate enough to measure the value without tuning. But we only have 20 years of good data. Given the Atlantic Multidecadal Ocean or AMO oscillation is 60-70 years long, is 20 years enough?

Climate Oscillations 1: The Regression
By Andy May Introduction to the “Climate Oscillations” series My last two posts, Musings on the AMO and The Bray Solar Cycle and AMO were fun to research and write, and they helped show that solar variations and cycles do have an impact on climate change regardless of what the IPCC says in AR6 WGIContinue reading “Climate Oscillations 1: The Regression”

Musings on the AMO
By Andy May We hear a lot about the AMO, or the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation. How much does it influence the global mean surface temperature or GMST? Exactly what is the AMO? These are the issues we will discuss. First let’s look at various definitions of the AMO.
