  abstract = {{O}bservations of the last century are considered to investigate the decadal scale {P}acific/{N}orth {A}tlantic teleconnections. {B}y using wavelet analysis we find a significant low-frequency coherency between major indices of climate variability. {I}n particular, at periods between 10 and 20 yr, the {N}orth {A}tlantic {O}scillation ({NAO}) tends to be out of phase with the {E}l {N}ino/{S}outhern {O}scillation ({ENSO}) (strong {I}celandic low during {L}a {N}ina) and the {P}acific {D}ecadal {O}scillation ({PDO}), but in phase with the {N}orth {P}acific {I}ndex ({NPI}). {H}ence, the {I}celandic low is strong during {L}a {N}ina, but the {A}leutian low is weak. {T}he band-pass {SST} pattern shows a close relationship between the "decadal-{ENSO}' mode in the {P}acific and the sea surface temperature anomaly tripole in the {A}tlantic, consistent with the low-frequency global teleconnections. {T}he spatial sea level patterns corresponding to the band-pass filtered indices suggest that the {A}leutian-{I}celandic {L}ow seesaw is a main interbasin link on decadal time scale, consistent with the larger coherency of the {NPI} with the {NAO} than with {ENSO}. {C}itation: {M}uller, {W}. {A}., {C}. {F}rankignoul, and {N}. {C}houaib (2008), {O}bserved decadal tropical {P}acific-{N}orth {A}tlantic teleconnections, {G}eophys. {R}es. {L}ett., 35, {L}24810, doi: 10.1029/2008{GL}035901.},
