Basic knowledge of climate can be used within shorter term weather forecasting using analog techniques such as the El Niño – Southern Oscillation ( ENSO ), the Madden-Julian Oscillation ( MJO ), the North Atlantic Oscillation ( NAO ), the Northern Annualar Mode ( NAM ), the Arctic oscillation ( AO ), the Northern Pacific ( NP ) Index, the Pacific Decadal Oscillation ( PDO ), and the Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation ( IPO ).

The North Atlantic Oscillation is closely related to the Arctic oscillation ( AO ) or Northern Annular Mode ( NAM ), but should not be confused with the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation ( AMO ).
