Arctic oscillation index
The Arctic Oscillation (AO) is currently positive and is predicted to remain positive the next two weeks but slowly trend towards neutral. The current positive AO is reflective of negative pressure/geopotential height anomalies in the Arctic with mostly positive pressure/geopotential height anomalies across the mid-latitudes. Compared to the NAO and AO, the AOO index, defined on the basis of a wind-driven simulated sea-surface height field across the Arctic (Proshutinsly and Johnson, 1997) is a more Arctic-centric index. The index is a measure of the intensity and sense (clockwise/anticyclonic or counterclockwise/cyclonic) of the Arctic Ocean wind-driven circulation. The Arctic Oscillation (AO) is a key aspect of climate variability in the Northern Hemisphere (see Figure 1.1).The AO indices are defined as the leading empirical orthogonal function of Northern Hemisphere sea level pressure anomalies poleward of 20°N and are characterized by an exchange of atmospheric mass between the Arctic and middle latitudes (Thompson and Wallace, 1998). The Arctic oscillation (AO) or Northern Annular Mode/Northern Hemisphere Annular Mode (NAM) is a weather phenomenon at the Arctic and Antarctic poles north (or south) of 20 degrees latitude.The index varies over time with no particular periodicity, and is characterized by non-seasonal sea-level pressure anomalies of one sign in the Arctic, balanced by anomalies of opposite sign centered at The Arctic Oscillation (AO) is a pattern of variability in the atmospheric pressures of the Arctic and North Atlantic oceans, resulting is large changes in weather from year to year, and decade to decade.

The AO is the dominant pattern of non-seasonal sea-level pressure (SLP) variations north of 20N, and it is characterized by SLP anomalies of one sign in the Arctic and anomalies of opposite sign centered about 37-45N.

The AO is a climate pattern characterized by winds circulating counterclockwise around the Arctic at around 55°N latitude.

Arctic Oscillation. The Arctic Oscillation refers to an opposing pattern of pressure between the Arctic and the northern middle latitudes. Overall, if the atmospheric pressure is high in the Arctic, it tends to be low in the northern middle latitudes, such as northern Europe and North America.

The index is a measure of the intensity and sense (clockwise/anticyclonic or counterclockwise/cyclonic) of the Arctic Ocean wind-driven circulation.

The Arctic Oscillation (AO), shown below, is an important Arctic climate index with positive and negative phases, which represents the state of atmospheric circulation over the Arctic. The positive phase (red) brings lower-than-normal pressure over the polar region, steering ocean storms northward, bringing wetter weather to Scotland and Scandinavia, and drier conditions to areas such as Spain and the Middle East. The index is a measure of the intensity and sense (clockwise/anticyclonic or counterclockwise/cyclonic) of the Arctic Ocean wind-driven circulation.
