Yet even this cycle is kept in check by the interdecadal oscillation, which involves a shift in temperatures between the northern, southern and tropical Pacific every 15 to 30 years. Modern ...

The team used the Fijian coral record to reconstruct the Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation, a large-scale phenomenon that influences climate variability across the Pacific Ocean, nearly doubling ...

Like all climate cycles, the Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation will, at some point, flip from negative to positive again. When this happened in the late 1970s, the Earth's surface temperatures shot up.

Sure enough, the PDO — or what the authors call the Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation or IPO to denote its presence in both hemispheres — explained a large part of the deviance from what the ...

A single coral in Fiji that is more than 600 years old has recorded how Pacific Ocean temperatures ... Understanding the long-term behavior of the interdecadal Pacific oscillation is crucial for ...

The impact of the acceleration in Pacific winds is apparent in sea level trends 26,27 and changes in ocean circulation (Supplementary Fig. 2).Although measurements are generally too sparse to ...

The ocean along the equator cooled while the northern and southern parts (the subtropics) of the Pacific became hotter. And the heating spread down to a depth of 700 meters in the subtropics.

Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation: ... “In the Pacific Ocean we watch out for El Nino and La Nina events as they impact Australia for a year or two at a time,” said Mr Sharpe.

A “concerning” new climate driver has emerged that could see deadly floods like those in March occur sooner rather than later, with a 1-in-500 year disaster possible. “We believe this year ...
