These mood swings include a climate phenomenon known as Pacific Decadal Oscillation, or PDO. It's an El Nino- like shift in the ocean's temperature that scientists once thought cycled every 15 to ...

Sea-surface height is an indicator of the heat content of the upper ocean. The Pacific Decadal Oscillation is a long-term fluctuation of the Pacific Ocean that waxes and wanes between cool and ...

Last week, I wrote a long story about a phenomenon called the Pacific Decadal Oscillation or PDO, a naturally occurring wobble in the planet’s climate system that involves the burial and releas ...

PDO stands for Pacific Decadal Oscillation and it can influence the amount of precipitation we get in Central Texas. Skip to content. KXAN Austin.

The model is based on interpreting the status of the "Oceanic Niño Index" and the Pacific Decadal Oscillation - both of which are measures of climate, ocean water movement, currents and temperature.

The cycle is similar to the more commonly known El Niño Southern Oscillation but significantly longer in duration, reversing phases over the course of decades. The study found that the behavior of the ...

La Niña, the negative phase of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation, and a general lack of frigid air in cold air source regions as reasons for our forecast. La Niña: This phase of the El Niño ...
