| | PDO PAPER |
 | | The signature of the PDO is clearly evident in the wintertime surface climate record for much of North America, but not for that of the other continents. |
 | | The PDO is positively correlated with wintertime precipitation along the coast of the central Gulf of Alaska and over northern Mexico and south Florida, and negatively correlated with that over much of the interior of North America and over the Hawaiian Islands. |
 | | During positive PDO years the annual water year discharge in the Skeena, Fraser, and Columbia Rivers is on average 8%, 8%, and 14% lower, respectively, than that during negative PDO years. |
