"The main climate factors expected to influence the 2023 Atlantic hurricane activity are the ongoing El Niño and the warm phase of the Atlantic Multi-Decadal Oscillation, including record-warm ...

Globally, ocean temperatures have been rising as the planet warms. A long-term temperature pattern known as the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation, or AMO, also comes into play.

The authors investigated the interbasin interactions between the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans depending on the phase relationship of Pacific decadal oscillation (PDO)/Atlantic multidecadal oscillation ...

Changes in the Atlantic Ocean's mixed layer are the primary force behind the Atlantic Multidecadal Variability (AMV).

The tropical Atlantic is as hot right now as it usually is in mid-August — peak hurricane season. That makes it about 2.5 months ahead of schedule. And there are some little-known reasons as to why.

Previous studies have demonstrated that the Atlantic multidecadal oscillation (AMO) could affect El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) through thermocline adjustment, with a stronger ENSO sea surface ...
