Oscillations
All of the world's main oscillations.
This map contains all the major global oscillations. Oscillations are essentially areas where winds and ocean temperatures interact to form anomalies which affect the global climate in different ways.
El Nino is located in the southern Pacific Ocean. It can make the western United States dryer and the southeast wetter.

The Pacific Decadal Oscillation occurs in roughly the north-central pacific ocean. This oscillation has a significant effect on monsoons in Asia.

The North Pacific Oscillation is located north of the Pacific Decadal. It can cause higher than normal rain in the western United States, like in Alaska or the great plains.

The North Pacific Gyre is located to the west and north of the North Pacific Oscillation. The North Pacific Gyre is known for containing the pacific garbage patch.

The Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation is located in the Atlantic Ocean between west Africa and the eastern United States. This oscillation can have an effect on hurricanes depending on its current cycle.

What is the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO)?
The North Atlantic Oscillation is located to the west of the UK and east of Newfoundland in Canada. The North Atlantic Oscillation is important for weather in the UK. It can bring on snowier than normal winters, as one example.

The Arctic Oscillation is located all through the Arctic but begins in southern Greenland. It can move ocean storms farther north, causing rain in regions bordering it, such as Scotland and Scandinavian countries.

The Antarctic Oscillation is located, similarly to the Arctic in its respective region, all around Antarctica. It can cause rainfall events in southern Australia.

The Indian Ocean Dipole is located in the northern Indian Ocean on both sides of India. It affects rainfall in east Africa and India depending on whether it is positive or negative.
