Atmospheric Oscillations: Sources of Subseasonal-to-Seasonal Variability and Predictability provides a thorough examination of various atmospheric oscillations of scientific and societal importance in the context of natural climate variability and anthropogenic climate change. Included are introductions to each phenomenon, overviews of the state of knowledge, in-depth analyses of relevant dynamical processes, and discussions of the impacts on weather and climate and implications for subseasonal-to-seasonal predictions and predictability.

Written by an international team of experts in the fields of atmospheric and planetary sciences, each chapter of the book either focuses on a specific atmospheric oscillation or explores the interaction between multiple oscillations.
