The Global Atmosphere Oscillations
in the Context of the Recent Climate
Change

Introduction
It is commonly accepted [1–4] that variability of the Earth’s climate is characterized
by a wide range of oscillations. Despite their origin, all those variations may be
classified into two types. The first of them is presented by resonance perturbations
at the frequencies corresponding to the external forcing. The second one combines
local fluctuations of both inertial and auto-oscillation origin.
An assessment of the regional current climate change is usually based on the
indices of various oscillations, such as the North Atlantic, North Pacific, Arctic,
Southern, etc. [5]. These oscillations are indicative of some features of the internal
dynamics of the climate system. Physical background of frequency-amplitude
characteristics of the oscillations may signify the existence of the global scale
atmospheric variations, whose dynamic structure includes all known regional
indices.
Therefore the problem arises of acquiring a better understanding of the global
atmospheric oscillations related to the structure of the current climate variability.
The goal of our study is to elaborate appropriate indices suitable for prompt and
adequate detecting of this phenomenon. An attempt to find an answer to some of
these questions is undertaken in this contribution.
