ORTHOGONAL WAVELET ANALYSIS OF SO AND NAO
Abstract:121-years (1873~1993) seasonal time series of SOI and NAOI areanalyzed by means of orthogonal wavelet transform. It shows that the most significant variation of SOI(NAOI) is in the 2~7-yr(<2-yr) band of period, with 55.1 %(64.3 %) of variability. Interannual and decadal changes of SOI are more distinct before 1920 and after 1960 than in the other period. In the past century and more, SOI (NAOI) dropped (arised) with a trend rate of -0.52(0.25)/century. SOI manifestly negatively correlated with NAOI only in >28-yr band. Recently northern global climate was controlled by high (low) base state, low (high) decadal and interannual variability of SOI(NAOI).
