NEWS RELEASES

PACIFIC DECADAL OSCILLATION PACKS A ONE-TWO PUNCH

The Pacific Ocean, the largest and deepest of the world's


seven oceans, suffers periodic mood swings that have a dramatic
impact on our weather. These mood swings are a climate phenomenon
known as Pacific Decadal Oscillation, or PDO. It's an El Nino-like
shift in the ocean's temperature that scientists once thought
cycled every 15 to 20 years. However, there's new NASA research
that now shows there may be a second, much longer, PDO pattern
that lasts about 70 years.
