Interannual oscillations of the seasonal sea surface temperature variability parameters in the Atlantic Ocean

This paper reports on the interannual fluctuations of the seasonal sea surface temperature (SST) variability in the North Atlantic. The areas of intense variation of the average annual SST and predominant harmonic (annual and biannual) amplitude have been identified. A significant negative correlation between the average annual SST and the amplitude of the SST variation annual harmonic is demonstrated in thesee areas; amplitude anomalies of the dominating harmonics of interannual SST fluctuations may exceed the climatic norm by 1.5–2.0 times.Translated by Mikhail M.
