EMoV Metrics Data (coupled modes: 1995-2004; atmospheric modes: 1995-2004)

Metrics The coupled modes considered include the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO), North Pacific Gyre Oscillation (NPGO), and Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO), while the atmospheric modes include the Northern Annular Mode (NAM), Pacific–North American pattern (PNA), North Pacific Oscillation (NPO), North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), Southern Annular Mode (SAM), and the Pacific–South American patterns (PSA1 and PSA2). Metrics were derived from empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis, using sea-level pressure (PSL) for atmospheric modes and sea surface temperature (TS) for coupled modes. See full descriptions in the document.
Region Regions defined in region/regions_specs.json under PMP Path.
Variables CMIP conventions: psl (ATM) and ts (CPL).
References Following Variables: obs (ATM) and obs (CPL), defined in reference/reference_alias.json under PMP Path. Source data linked from Reference Path.
Model Diagnostics JSON files in variability_modes under Output Path.

Metrics Three groups (ENSO_perf, ENSO_proc, ENSO_tel); see full list in the document.
Region Niño 3.4 region (5°S–5°N, 170°–120°W).
