Northern Multidecadal Oscillation

Thanks Bags.

As I understand it, he's saying that the ocean oscillations (movements of warm and cold currents, etc. which are quite complex and not fully understood yet) may have a larger influence on weather and climate than has hitherto been acknowledged.

Thanks annodomini - I thought it was just me who was being thick (well I have only had 2 cups of coffee this morning!).

Any chance of translating it into English that a bewildered English graduate can understand? A single sentence summary would suffice.

Looks a promising thread.
