The Hurricane—Climate Connection (2008, background): “Occam’s razor would lead one to suspect that variations of the two series have a common cause, though it has been suggested that the North Atlantic might be forcing the rest of the hemisphere (Zhang et al. 2007).”
Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation and Northern Hemisphere’s climate variability (2010, background): “Other proposed mechanisms for conveying an Atlanticborn climate signal to the North Pacific include stability changes within the tropical thermocline (Dong and Sutton 2005; Dong et al. 2006; Zhang and Delworth 2005, 2007; Zhang et al. 2007; Timmermann et al. 2007) and latitudinal shifts of Intertrop”
A multi-model comparison of Atlantic multidecadal variability (2014, unknown): “AMV is linked to Western African, American and European climate (Sutton and Hodson 2005; Knight et al. 2006; Enﬁeld et al. 2001; Semenov et al. 2010; Zhang and Delworth 2006; Zhang et al. 2007).”
State of the climate in 2010 (2011, background): “Mann 2000; Knight et al. 2005; Dijkstra et al. 2006; Zhang et al. 2007; see also section 3h for detailed information on the meridional overturning circulation).”
Is there a 60‐year oscillation in global mean sea level? (2012, background): “…model experiment where the Atlantic surface temperatures were forced to correspond to observations resulted in multi decadal surface temperature oscillations throughout the Northern hemisphere, similar to observations [Zhang et al., 2007], again with no external forcings other than climatology.”
NAO implicated as a predictor of Northern Hemisphere mean temperature multidecadal variability (2013, unknown): “Alternatively, oceanic multidecadal variability may also be implicated in the nonmonotic rise in NHT [ Delworth and Mann , 2000; Knight et al ., 2005; Zhang et al ., 2007].”
A Review of the Role of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation in Atlantic Multidecadal Variability and Associated Climate Impacts (2019, background): “those of observations over the twentieth century, in addition to the long‐term warming trend (Zhang et al., 2007).”
Observations, inferences, and mechanisms of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation: A review (2016, background): “The AMV has both regional and global impacts [see, e.g., Delworth et al., 2007]; it is capable of explaining the observed low-frequency variations in NH mean temperatures [Zhang et al., 2007] and is thought to control low-frequency variations in the position of the ITCZ (see sections 2.3 and 6.1).”
