Climate Oscillations 2: The Western Hemisphere Warm Pool (WHWP)

By Andy May As seen in the first post of this series the AMO (Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation) and the WHWP (Western Hemisphere Warm Pool) area are the two climate oscillations that explain most of the variability (64%) in the HadCRUT5 global mean surface temperature reconstruction (GMST) since 1950. Adding the Southern Annular Mode (SAM) explainsContinue reading “Climate Oscillations 2: The Western Hemisphere Warm Pool (WHWP)”
