Many terrestrial weather patterns have been observed and named, for example, the Southern Oscillation, the Arctic Oscillation/North Atlantic Oscillation, the Pacific Decadal Oscillation, and so on
How are these indices useful in the discussion of weather and climate?
These weather patterns must persist for long periods of time, and swing back and
forth. The interplay of the various oscillations has an effect on the position of the jet stream
(and so the weather).
