-
Andrew Revkin has a good post at the NYT for those interested in what’s actually going on — an unusually severe Arctic Oscillation is bringing abnormally cold weather to part of the planet.
-
In the experiment known as the Oscillation Project with Emulsion-Tracking Apparatus, neutrinos were measured as traveling slightly faster than light on a 450-mile trip from CERN near Geneva to the Gran Sasso underground lab in central Italy.

I had forgotten about the Warm Pool Oscillation, which is one of those that has emerged from the data only in recent years.
-
The scientists using a massive particle detector called the Oscillation Project with Emulsion-Tracking Apparatus OPERA believe they have caught subatomic particles called neutrinos moving faster than light - a feat which was once considered impossible.
-
Winter weather in these areas is often driven by a pressure change called the Arctic Oscillation, which is difficult to forecast.

Some deny it wholly, some deny it partially, some do not deny it but think that The Models have serious errors (as does, to give one example outside the petition, Emeritus Professor of Biogeography Philip Stott who thinks they do not include the Atlantic Multi-decadal Oscillation which is why temps will decline for decades).

Since then, we have discovered the Multi-decadal Oscillation.

Using data from the Global Oscillation Network Group (GONG) facility of the National Solar Observatory and from the Stanford University Michelson Doppler Imager (MDI) on NASA's Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) spacecraft, we have constructed a map of the torsional-oscillation flow inside the sun over the past 14 years.

“The cause of what one weather service refers to as these “upside down” conditions is an extreme of the Arctic Oscillation (AO).”
