| Zusammenfassung |
| In the past two decades climate research in the tropical Atlantic with
respect to the inter-hemispheric gradient of sea surface temperature (SST)
emphasized the predominance of decadal-scale variability. Our results show
that this mode of variability is prevalent only for part of the last
130-years record (the 1880s, the 1920s and, especially, the 1970s). There
is a lag of a few months between the decadal variations of the
inter-hemispheric gradient of SST and the decadal variability of the North
Atlantic Oscillation (NAO). This seems to indicate that the 10-year
variability first develops in the tropics and then propagates polewards. The
inter-hemispheric gradient of SST mode should be thought as episodic and not
as a periodic oscillation. |
