| | The Pacific Decadal Oscillation |
 | | As is the case with ENSO, characteristic pressure, wind, temperature, and precipitation patterns have been connected with the PDO (Latif and Barnett 1995, Zhang et al 1997, Mantua et al. |
 | | The pattern of North Pacific sea surface temperature (SST) variations noted to capture the oceanic part of the PDO is shown in Figure 1, while the pattern of sea level pressures (SLPs) noted to capture the atmospheric part are shown in Figure 2. |
