The Effect of the Atlantic Multiple Oscillation (AMO) on the Temperature Gradient on Libya

Abstract

As a result of climate change causing a rise in global temperature, the oceans have had a share of this rise, which has consequences for decades. The study discussed the effect of the Atlantic Multiple Oscillation (AMO), which plays a major role in climate change and its impact on temperatures represented in its cold and warm phases, as in the cold phase indicating cooling of temperatures, especially in the year 1974, it was characterized by cooling, and in the warming phase it affects temperatures with a clear increase In the warm year of 2010, Weather data was used for ten stations over Libya, represented by temperatures and cold and warm AMO periods. The period of it cooling was characterized by anomalous temperatures reaching between -0.2 to -1.79 degrees Celsius, where it is more evident in the summer, and it warming period. It is show in the winter and reaches between 0.3 to 2.7 degrees Celsius, indicating a warm winter. Explaining the degree of correlation between AMO and the temperature of these stations was positive and in the summer during the cooling period 1971-1977, and less in the winter during the heating period 2010-2017.
