The review aims to clarify the variability of North Atlantic sea surface temperatures and its implications for various climate phenomena.
Synthesis of current understanding through a conceptual stochastic climate model hierarchy.
Focus on interannual to centennial timescales.
Examination of regional impacts and mechanisms in the North Atlantic.
Interannual SST variability is mainly influenced by the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO).
Emerging evidence suggests that externally forced signals may play a significant role in Atlantic multidecadal variability (AMV).
Critical debates continue regarding the driving forces of the AMV, particularly the roles of the AMOC and stochastic atmospheric forcing.
