Table 1 Detailed information about the analyzed indexes of climate variability (teleconnections) analyzed.
From: The effects of teleconnections on water and carbon fluxes in the two South America’s largest biomes
Region | Teleconnection | Description | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|
Pacific | ONI | Three month running mean of NOAA ERSST.V5 SST anomalies in the Niño 3.4 region (5 N-5 S, 120–170 W). | |
PDO | 1st Empirical Orthogonal Function of North Pacific SST and Sea Level Pressure anomalies (100°E–100°W, 20–65°N). | ||
Atlantic | AMM | 2nd principal component of tropical Atlantic SST anomalies and the zonal and meridional components of wind (70°W–20°E, 30°S–30°N). | |
AMO | Average SST anomalies for the North Atlantic (80°W–0°E, 0–60°N). | ||
Atmosphere | AAO | 1st leading mode from the EOF analysis of monthly mean height anomalies at 700-hPa poleward of 20°S. | |
NAO | 1st principal component of sea level pressure anomalies over the North Atlantic (90°W–20°E, 20–80°N) |
