Description
Summary:The time-integrated yearly values of North At-lantic Oscillation (INAO) are found to be well correlated to the sea surface temperature. The results give the feasibility of using INAO as a good proxy for climate change and contribute to a more complete picture of the full range of variability inherent in the climate system. More-over, the extrapolation in the future of the well identified 65-year harmonic in INAO suggests a gradual decline in global warming starting from
