Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation

Mid 20thC Increase In Arctic Sea Ice

FEBRUARY 24, 2017


The answer to all of the changes in the Arctic during the last century lies in the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation, or AMO;

The AMO is a naturally occurring cycle, whereby Atlantic sea surface temperatures shift through warm and cold phases.

We are currently in the warm phase, just as we were between the 1920s and 40s, when temperatures all around the Arctic were at similar levels to now.

In between, temperatures in the Arctic fell, with a corresponding increase in sea ice.

I hope I am still around to see the egg on their faces when the AMO turns cold again.
