Description
Summary:Nonlinear atmospheric teleconnections, found to be related quadratically to the El Niño-Southern Oscillation and Arctic Oscillation indices, propagate perturbations into areas where classical linear teleconnections are insignificant. Contemporaneous correlations between distant atmospheric variables, commonly referred to as teleconnections, reveal the propagation of perturbations over vast distances via the atmosphere. The El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) (McPhaden 2004; Neelin et al. 1998) in the tropical Pacific tends to excite the Pacific/North American (PNA) atmospheric teleconnection pattern
