ENSO-Forced Variability of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation
TLDR
In this article, the authors modeled the variability of the Pacific decadal oscillation (PDO) on both interannual and decadal timescales as the sum of direct forcing by El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), the ''reemergence'' of North Pacific sea surface temperature anomalies in subsequent winters, and white noise atmospheric forcing.Abstract:
Variability of the Pacific decadal oscillation (PDO), on both interannual and decadal timescales, is well modeled as the sum of direct forcing by El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), the ''reemergence'' of North Pacific sea surface temperature anomalies in subsequent winters, and white noise atmospheric forcing. This simple model may be taken as a null hypothesis for the PDO, and may also be relevant for other climate integrators that have been previously related to the PDO.read more

TL;DR: In this article, the Pacific decadal oscillation (PDO) is not a single phenomenon, but is instead the result of a combination of different physical processes, including remote tropical forcing and local North Pacific atmosphere-ocean interactions, which operate on different time scales to drive similar PDO-like SST anomaly patterns.
