Climatology

Weather here is tied to weather far away

A teleconnection is a persistent, statistically significant linkage between climate anomalies at widely separated places, so that, for example, pressure rising in one region reliably accompanies pressure falling in another thousands of kilometres away. Ångström's 1935 Teleconnections of climatic changes in present time named the concept, building on the pressure "seesaws" earlier charted between regions, and it now underpins named patterns such as the North Atlantic Oscillation and the Southern Oscillation behind El Niño. The referent is a spatial correlation structure in the climate field rather than any single storm, and it is identified by correlating anomaly time series between distant sites or by extracting coherent large-scale patterns statistically.[1]

Unit
The correlation between climate anomalies at separated locations
Recovery means
Not applicable
Measured by
Identified by one-point correlation maps between remote anomaly series and by empirical orthogonal function (pattern) analysis of the climate field
