Summary

Abstract: The dominant mode of climate variability across the Southern Hemisphere is the Southern Hemisphere Annular Mode (SAM), which has been associated with warming in the Antarctic Peninsula and a weak cooling across the remainder of the continent (Marshall 2007). Fundamentally, the SAM is an expression of the meridional pressure gradient between the sub-Antarctic and middle latitudes. The mode has been ...
