"climate_indices_mei": "MEI (Multivariate ENSO Index): El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is the most important coupled ocean-atmosphere phenomenon to cause global climate variability on interannual time scales. Original index data.",
"climate_indices_npgo": "NPGO (North Pacific Gyre Oscillation): The North Pacific Gyre Oscillation is a climate pattern that emerges as the 2nd dominant mode of sea surface height variability in the Northeast Pacific. The NPGO is significantly correlated with previously unexplained fluctuations of salinity, nutrients and chlorophyll-a measured in long-term observations in the California Current and Gulf of Alaska. Original index data.",
"climate_indices_np": "NP (North Pacific Index): The North Pacific Index is the area-weighted sea level pressure over the region 30°N-65°N, 160°E-140°W. The NP index is defined to measure interannual to decadal variations in the atmospheric circulation. The dominant atmosphere-ocean relation in the North Pacific is one where atmospheric changes lead changes in sea surface temperatures by one to two months. Original index data.",
"climate_indices_nino12": "NINO 1+2: NINO 1+2 is the average sea surface temperature anomaly in the NINO1 and NINO2 regions (0-10°S and 80-90°W). Original index data.",
"climate_indices_nino34": "NINO 3.4: A El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) indicators based on sea surface temperatures. NINO 3.4 is the average sea surface temperature anomaly in the region bounded by 5°N to 5°S, from 170°W to 120°W. This region has large variability on El Niño time scales, and is close to the region where changes in local sea-surface temperature are important for shifting the large region of rainfall typically located in the far western Pacific. Original index data.",
"climate_indices_or_moci": "OR MOCI (Oregon Multivariate Ocean Climate Indicator): OR MOCI encompasses 30 years, capturing warming events impacting the Northeast Pacific across decades, like El Niño and marine heatwaves. It also captures changes in timing and magnitude of the shift from downwelling to coastal upwelling, and river runoff in the spring, which impact temperature and salinity conditions. Original index data.",
"climate_indices_pdo": "PDO (Pacific Decadal Oscillation): Pacific Decadal Oscillation is a climate index based upon patterns of variation in sea surface temperature of the North Pacific from 1900 to the present. While derived from sea surface temperature data, the PDO index is well correlated with many records of North Pacific and Pacific Northwest climate and ecology, including sea level pressure, winter land–surface temperature and precipitation, and stream flow. Original index data.",
