What is another word for northern annular mode?
Pronunciation: [nˈɔːðən ɐnjˈʊlɑː mˈə͡ʊd] (IPA) 
The Northern Annular Mode (NAM), also known as the Arctic Oscillation (AO), is a pattern of variability that occurs in the Northern Hemisphere. It affects weather patterns and climate conditions from North America to Europe and Asia. In scientific research, there are different synonyms used to describe NAM or AO. Some of the alternative terms include Arctic Oscillation index (AOI), Arctic Dipole Oscillation (ADO), North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), and Polar Vortex. These different terms are all interconnected and used to understand the complex interactions between the Arctic and mid-latitudes. As climate change progresses, understanding the NAM in greater detail will become even more important for predicting future weather patterns.
