  29. Definition Climate Prediction Center AAO Positive Fase • To identify the leading teleconnection patterns in the atmospheric circulation, Empirical Orthogonal Function (EOF) was applied to the monthly mean 700-hPa height anomalies poleward of 20° latitude for the Southern Hemisphere, for the period 1979 to 2000. • The loading pattern of AAO is defined as the first leading mode from the EOF analysis. • Monthly AAO indices are constructed by projecting the monthly mean 700-hPa height anomalies onto the leading EOF mode. Both time series are normalized by the standard deviation of the monthly index (1979-2000 base period).

  30. Composites of SST and 200 hPa zonal wind (U200LF):Low-Frequency ( Retained Periods: above 365 days) Negative AAO Phase Positive AAO Phase SSTLF SSTLF U200LF U200LF (Carvalho, Jones, Ambrizzi, 2005 – JC)

  31. Teleconnection Patterns of U200 (Wallace and Gutzler 1981) (The strongest negative correlation with grid points from 90S – 40S ) • Equatorward shift of the Subtropical Jet • Weakening Polar Jet NEGATIVE • Strengthening of the Polar Jet • Poleward shift subtropical jet POSITIVE Westerly jets can act as Rossby waveguides for propagation from tropics to midlatitudes DIFFERENCE (Carvalho, Jones, Ambrizzi, 2005 – JC)
