Summary
Abstract: The leading EOF is characterized by SST anomalies of one sign in the
western north Pacific with correlations in excess 0.6 in the region
45-35N, 160E-150W, and SST anomalies of opposite sign along the
Aleutians, the west coast of North America, and extending westward to
the Hawaiian Islands between 25 and 20N. The correlations in the North
America offshore region are typically 0.3 in magnitude. ... View entire text
