Synchronous Variability in the Southern Hemisphere Atmosphere, Sea Ice, and Ocean Resulting from the Annular Mode* (2002, background): “3d of Thompson and Wallace 2000).”
The Norwegian Earth System Model, NorESM1-M – Part 1: Description and basic evaluation of the physical climate (2013, background): “The Northern and Southern Annular Modes (NAM and SAM) are the dominant patterns of variability in the extratropical atmosphere on intraseasonal to interdecadal timescales (Thompson and Wallace, 2000).”
The Teleconnection of El Niño Southern Oscillation to the Stratosphere (2019, background): “The NAM and the SAM constitute the dominant patterns of atmospheric pressure characterizing the variability of the storm tracks in both hemispheres (Baldwin, 2001; Thompson & Wallace, 2000).”
On the lack of stratospheric dynamical variability in low‐top versions of the CMIP5 models (2013, neutral): “The annular modes characterize variability of the tropospheric midlatitude jets and the stratospheric polar vortex [e.g., Thompson and Wallace , 2000].”
A stratospheric influence on the winter NAO and North Atlantic surface climate (2005, background): “This is important because climate change signals can project onto the NAO [Gillett et al., 2003; Thompson et al., 2000] and internal variability from the NAO is still larger than the total anthropogenic change over some regions.”
What regulate and limit reindeer populations in Norway (2007, methodology): “The linear predictor of the models included two time lags (t-1 and t-2) of the population density and the AO index ( Thompson and Wallace 2000 ).”
CMIP5 historical simulations (1850–2012) with GISS ModelE2 (2014, background): “Annular modes are the leading form of atmospheric variability in the extratropics of both hemispheres [Thompson and Wallace, 2000].”
GLOBAL SURFACE TEMPERATURE CHANGE (2010, background): “Penetration of Arctic air into middle latitudes is related to the Arctic Oscillation (AO) index [Thompson and Wallace, 2000], which is defined by surface atmospheric pressure.”
Climate Assessment for 1999 (2000, background): “These conditions reflect the positive phase of the Antarctic Oscillation (e.g., Thompson and Wallace 2000), and contrast with the weaker height gradient and weaker zonal wind maximum that characterize the climato-logical mean polar vortex (Fig.”
The Remarkably Strong Arctic Stratospheric Polar Vortex of Winter 2020: Links to Record‐Breaking Arctic Oscillation and Ozone Loss (2020, methodology): “…using metrics that describe phases of the “Northern Annular Mode” (NAM), a pattern that characterizes meridional shifts of mass into or out of the polar cap throughout the atmospheric column (note that the NAM and AO are often used interchangeably; Baldwin, 2001; Thompson & Wallace, 2000).”
Factors predisposing episodic drought‐induced tree mortality in Nothofagus– site, climatic sensitivity and growth trends (2004, background): “a strengthened polar vortex; Thompson & Wallace 2000 ) led to severe drought in northern Patagonia (annual rainfall was the lowest since recordings began in 1905).”
Downward Coupling between the Stratosphere and Troposphere: The Relative Roles of Wave and Zonal Mean Processes* (2004, background): “We note that, unlike the zonal mean, a few cou- 1 Thompson and Wallace (2000) showed that January to March represents the active season of coupling between the tropospheric and stratospheric annular modes. pled modes are needed to explain the total squared covariance for the zonal deviations.”
Decadal Variability of the ENSO Teleconnection to the High-Latitude South Pacific Governed by Coupling with the Southern Annular Mode* (2006, background): “Additionally, Trenberth (1997) cautions on the use of the unsmoothed SOI to construct seasonal ENSO composites, noting that many high-frequency phenomena (including the Madden–Julian oscillation) can influence an unsmoothed SOI time series, and not represent variability within the Southern Oscillati”
