An analysis of air temperature records for Macquarie Island:decadal warming, ENSO cooling and Southern Hemisphere circulation patterns
Macquarie Island lies close to the limbs of the Southern Oscillation. Its temperature record matches that of the area east and southeast of New Zealand, rather than Tasmania. It is a sensitive indicator of climatic trends because of its location at high latitude in a longitudinal region of frequent...
