TLDR
In this paper, the authors used 100 environmental time series, 31 climatic and 69 biological, to determine if there is evidence for common regime signals in the 1965-1997 period of record.About:

Meteorology and oceanography of the northern Gulf of Alaska
Phyllis J. Stabeno,Nicholas A. Bond,Albert J. Hermann,Nancy B. Kachel,Calvin W. Mordy,James E. Overland +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the Alaska Coastal Current (ACC) from Icy Bay to Unimak Pass, a distance of over 1500 km. Over this distance, the ACC is a nearly continuous feature with a marked freshwater core.

Marine fish life history strategies: applications to fishery management
TL;DR: The life history traits of 42 marine fish species were grouped according to the theoretical classifications of life history strategies to provide a conceptual framework of management options for species for which there is no information on absolute or relative biomass.

Glacier change in western North America: influences on hydrology, geomorphic hazards and water quality
R. D. Moore,Sean W. Fleming,Brian Menounos,Roger Wheate,Andrew G. Fountain,Kerstin Stahl,K. Holm,M. Jakob +7 more
TL;DR: The glaciers of western Canada and the conterminous United States have dominantly retreated since the end of the Little Ice Age (LIA) in the nineteenth century, although average rates of retreat varied from strong in the first-half of the twentieth century, with glaciers stabilizing or even advancing until 1980, and then resuming consistent recession as mentioned in this paper.

Phytoplankton trends in the Baltic Sea
Norbent Wasmund,Steffen Uhlig +1 more
TL;DR: Monitoring data of phytoplankton abundance and biomass from surface samples of the Kattegat, Belt Sea and Baltic proper were investigated for long-term trends and observed changes in trends during the two decades might indicate shifts in the ecosystem.

Economic Value of Long-Lead Streamflow Forecasts for Columbia River Hydropower
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed an alternative operating system based on climate forecasts for the Columbia River hydropower dams, which can increase non-firm energy production from the major Columbia River dams by as much as 5.5 million MW/h/year.

A Pacific interdecadal climate oscillation with impacts on salmon production
TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify a robust, recurring pattern of ocean-atmosphere climate variability centered over the midlatitude North Pacific basin over the past century, the amplitude of this climate pattern has varied irregularly at interannual-to-interdecadal timescales.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Arctic oscillation signature in the wintertime geopotential height and temperature fields
TL;DR: The Arctic Oscillation (AO) as mentioned in this paper is the signature of modulations in the strength of the polar vortex aloft, and it resembles the NAO in many respects; but its primary center of action covers more of the Arctic, giving it a more zonally symmetric appearance.

Teleconnections in the Geopotential Height Field during the Northern Hemisphere Winter
John M. Wallace,David S. Gutzler +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of existing literature on the subject reveals the existence of at least four such patterns: the North Atlantic and North Pacific Oscillations identified by Walker and Bliss (1932), a zonally symmetric seesaw between sea level pressures in polar and temperature latitudes, first noted by Lorenz (1951), and what we will refer to as the Pacific/North American pattern, which has been known to operational long-range forecasters in this country since the 1950's.

Classification, seasonality and persistence of low-frequency atmospheric circulation patterns
TL;DR: In this article, Orthogonally rotated principle component analysis (RPCA) was used to identify and describe the seasonality and persistence of the major modes of interannual variability.
