The Atlantic multidecadal oscillation and its relation to rainfall and river fl ows in the continental U.S
Abstract. North Atlantic sea surface temperatures for 1856-1999 contain a 65-80 year cycle with a 0.4 C range, referred to as the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) by Kerr [2000]. AMO warm phases occurred during 1860-1880 and 1940-1960, and cool phases during 1905-1925 and 1970-1990. The signa...
