Description:The long-term variation of North Pacific and North Atlantic sea surface temperatures (SSTs) is shown to be associated with multidecadal trends of surface solar radiation in North America, Europe, and Asia. Long-term, large-scale warm SST anomalies lead to a mid-level planetary wave anomaly pattern of geopotential height ridges over the warm water and dynamically-induced lower heights on either side, sometimes extending over adjacent continents. Geopotential height troughs over the continents encourage more cloud cover and dimming of surface solar radiation. Conversely, cool SST anomalies correspond to a pattern of lower mid-level geopotential heights over the cool water and compensating high pressure on either side that encourages
