Climate variability – ENSO and NAO links

I post a link to a useful animation on YouTube that shows the change in sea-surface height, and allows you to track thermocline depth and SST below it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCT49t648JA

Second, a rather corny video, but the animation does show the coupling nicely between ocean and atmosphere, particularly surface winds and the wind-swept eastward wave of water.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbNzw1CCKHo
