Since December 22, the correlation between the daily AO Index and the daily standardized mean temperature anomaly for Fairbanks is just 0.12. I'll do up a post later today or tomorrow to illustrate this. <br /><br />RickRickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03946704894714514716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4572286363399496963.post-86644477292009203742012-04-17T11:53:28.459-08:002012-04-17T11:53:28.459-08:00New post addresses your questions, and thanks for ...New post addresses your questions, and thanks for stopping by.

Does the Arctic Oscillation have anything to do with the current weather trend?
