Spatially and temporally large-scale anomalies that influence the variability of the atmospheric circulation

Arctic Oscillation (AO)
Information on the Arctic Oscillation (AO), a large scale mode of climate variability, also referred to as the Northern Hemisphere annular mode.
El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO)
Information on the El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO), a periodic fluctuation in sea surface temperature and air pressure in the equatorial Pacific Ocean.
- Sea Surface Temperatures (SST)
  SST anomalies for several commonly-known ENSO regions
- Outgoing Longwave Radiation (OLR)
  This OLR product is a proxy for convective precipitation in the western equatorial Pacific
- Southern Oscillation Index (SOI)
  Information on the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI), a standardized index based on the observed sea level pressure differences between Tahiti and Darwin, Australia.

North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO)
Information on the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) index, which is based on the surface sea-level pressure difference between the Subtropical (Azores) High and the Subpolar Low.
Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO)
Information on the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO), often described as a long-lived El Nino-like pattern of Pacific climate variability.
Pacific-North America Index (PNA)
Information the Pacific-North America (PNA) pattern, one of the most prominent modes of low-frequency variability in the Northern Hemisphere extratropics, appearing in all months except June and July.
