Arctic Oscillation

Antarctic Oscillation

Model has realistic annular modes, with positive trends under forced change Model does not suggest stratospheric involvement Conclusions

Main Directions Since 1999 Improving our basic understanding of the annular modes Assessing the impact of annular trends on the Southern Ocean

Analog Device for Climate Change

Climate Variability in the Past

Climate Variability in the Future X
