The North Atlantic Oscillation is the main mode of variability in North Atlantic Climate, accounting for about 50% of the variability. It consists of a pressure dipole, with centers typically around Iceland and the Azores/Portugal, and the associated temperature and precipitation anomalies. A series of papers had suggested that there was some relationship between the North Atlantic Oscillation and the 11-year cycle in solar activity, but the time lag of this relationship and a mechanism were unclear.
