Temporal coherence in North Pacific sea-surface temperature patterns
Abstract
Temporal coherence between monthly mean temperature patterns for the sea surface of the North Pacific is far greater than any known meteorological coherence, has a smooth non-Markovian die-away with increasing lag, and is greatest when preceded by cold season months. When stratified according to initial month, the data show a striking tendency for pattern recurrence from one nonsummer month to subsequent months out to two years except for summer. Apparently this pattern recurrence is due to storage of anomalously cold or warm water that is shielded by a shallow layer in summer but is stirred up to the surface by the increased wind stress during cold months.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
