✦ Synopsis

The North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) is a major mode of large-scale climate variability which contains a broad spectrum of variations. There are substantial contributions from short-term 2 -5 year variations, which have clearly marked teleconnections. Decadal trends are also apparent in the historical record of the NAO and may be due to either stochastic or deterministic processes. Evidence is presented that suggests the NAO exhibits 'long-range' dependence having winter values residually correlated over many years. Several simple stochastic models have been used to fit the NAO SLP (sea-level pressure) wintertime index over the period 1864 -1998, and their performance at predicting the following year has been assessed. Long-range fractionally integrated noise provides a better fit than does either stationary red noise or a non-stationary random walk.

The North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) is one of the most important climatic patterns in the Northern Hemisphere. Indices based on the normalised pressure difference between Iceland and a southern station, such as Lisbon or Gibraltar, have been defined in order to describe NAO temporal evolution. Alth
