Atlantic Multi-decadal Oscillation (AMO) and Atlantic Multidecadal Variability (AMV)

Years of record

1870-01 to 2021-03

The Atlantic Multi-decadal Oscillation (AMO) has been identified as a coherent mode of natural variability occurring in the North Atlantic Ocean with an estimated period of 60-80 years. It is based upon the average anomalies of sea surface temperatures (SST) in the North Atlantic basin, typically over 0-80N. To remove the climate change signal from the AMO index,…
