PDO INDEX If the columns of the table appear without formatting on your browser, use http://research.jisao.washington.edu/pdo/PDO.latest.txt Updated standardized values for the PDO index, derived as the leading PC of monthly SST anomalies in the North Pacific Ocean, poleward of 20N. The monthly mean global average SST anomalies are removed to separate this pattern of variability from any "global warming" signal that may be present in the data.
