Description
Summary:No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Climate teleconnections link large scale regions through the transient behavior of atmospheric waves. In the Atlantic Ocean, one of the most prominent teleconnections is the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), which together with the Arctic Oscillation (AO) constitutes regional manifestations of the Northern Annular Mode (NAM), closely linked to the leading pattern of sea surface temperature (SST). Here we have examined the potential influence such meteorological phenomenon has on patterns of low frequency variability of hydroclimate conditions fisheries in the Gulf of Mexico (GoM). Statistical analyses were performed using large- (NAO/AO) and regional scale (GoM climate) data and time series of GoM fish captures over the period 1980-2010. Results show significant correlative associations between the GoM hydroclimate variability and the North Atlantic climate over the period 1950-2010. The oscillation frequency of some hydroclimatic variables, ...
