A signature of persistent natural thermohaline circulation cycles in observed climate (2005, background): “[2] The AMO [Kerr, 2000] is a coherent pattern of multidecadal variability in surface temperature centred on the North Atlantic Ocean.”
A hemispheric mechanism for the atlantic multidecadal oscillation (2007, background): “One of the climate modes with important socioeconomic impact is known as the Atlantic multidecadal oscillation (AMO: Kerr 2000).”
A tree‐ring based reconstruction of the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation since 1567 A.D. (2004, methodology): “[14] Such natural, low-frequency variations may also serve to alternately mask or amplify secular trends in the climate system [Kerr, 2000].”
A Review of the Role of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation in Atlantic Multidecadal Variability and Associated Climate Impacts (2019, background): “The large‐scale multidecadal variability observed in the Atlantic has been referred to as the “Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO)” to emphasize the “multidecadal” character of this oceanic phenomenon (Kerr, 2000) and particularly to distinguish it from interannual ocean variability forced by th”
Forced and Internal Twentieth-Century SST Trends in the North Atlantic* (2009, background): “The latter is consistent with the North Atlantic multidecadal SST variation that was identiﬁed in several previous studies (e.g., Kushnir 1994; Schlesinger and Ramankutty 1994; Enﬁeld et al. 2001) and is commonly referred to as the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) after Kerr (2000).”
Sea surface temperature variability: patterns and mechanisms. (2010, background): “This phenomenon has been termed the Atlantic Multi-decadal Oscillation (AMO; Kerr, 2000).”
Decadal changes in radiative fluxes at land and ocean surfaces and their relevance for global warming (2016, background): “, the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO), or the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO).(119) Unforced natural decadal variations in the atmosphere/ocean system could have induced changes in cloudiness and thereby contributed to the changes in SSR and SSTs.”
Observations, inferences, and mechanisms of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation: A review (2016, background): “An important observed mode of SST variability is a warming/cooling of the North Atlantic on decadal timescales [Schlesinger and Ramankutty, 1994; Kerr, 2000; Knight et al., 2005; Delworth et al., 2007; Deser et al., 2010], known as the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation/Atlantic Multidecadal Variabil”
European summer temperatures since Roman times (2016, neutral): “…changes in ocean circulation may be important, including aspects of variability such as the state of the Atlantic Multi-decadal Oscillation ( AMO; Kerr 2000, Alexander et al 2014 ) and dynamical implications of phasing between the AMO and North Paci ﬁ c sea-surface temperatures for…”
The influence of a weakening of the atlantic meridional overturning circulation on ENSO (2006, background): “Dong et al. (2006) present evidence that variations in SST associated with the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO; e.g., Kerr 2000) can modulate ENSO activity.”
The GFDL Earth System Model Version 4.1 (GFDL‐ESM 4.1): Overall Coupled Model Description and Simulation Characteristics (2020, background): “Overall, the impact is a centennial cycle in the release some of the excess heat supplied meridionally from the overly shallow (Figure 21) and consequently warm (Figure 20) AMOC.”
