The use of equatorial indices for winter climate prediction in the Yukon / Eric Taylor, Science Division.: En57-45/95-04E-PDF
"Winter temperatures and precipitation at three sites in the Yukon are compared to the monthly sea surface temperature of the eastern equatorial Pacific and the monthly Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) occurring in the previous summer and autumn. The highest correlations between winter Yukon temperatures and these equatorial indices occur with the August SOI and the September equatorial sea surface temperatures. The highest correlation between winter Yukon precipitation and the equatorial indices occur with the August SOI and the October equatorial sea surface temperatures. Linear relationships between winter Yukon temperature and both the SOI and equatorial sea surface temperatures are developed as a winter temperature forecasting tool"--Abstract.
