| oscillation |
A shift in position of various high and low pressure systems that in climate terms is usually defined as an index (ie, a single numerically-derived number, that represents the distribution of temperature and pressure over a wide ocean area, such as the El Ni?-Southern Oscillation, North Atlantic Oscillation, and Pacific Decadal Oscillation).
