  • Teleconnections
definition
  • A linkage between weather changes occuring in widely seperated regions of the globe. The term "teleconnections" is most commonly applied to variability on monthly or longer timescales and refers to the fact that such correlations suggest that information is propagating between distant points through the atmosphere.

Abstract from DBPedia
    Teleconnection in atmospheric science refers to climate anomalies being related to each other at large distances (typically thousands of kilometers). The most emblematic teleconnection is that linking sea-level pressure at Tahiti and Darwin, Australia, which defines the Southern Oscillation.

    テレコネクション（英: teleconnection）あるいは遠隔相関（えんかくそうかん）、遠隔結合（えんかくけつごう）とは、離れた2つ以上の地域で気圧がシーソーのように伴って変化する現象である。テレコネクションによる気圧変化は、大気・海洋相互作用（たいき・かいようそうごさよう、英: atmosphere-ocean interaction）によって天気や降水などの諸気象の変化を誘発し、結果的に天候が伴って変化する。
