... Climate variability describes the long-term pattern of the natural climate cycle in a particular location, over a certain period of time. Variability can be inter-annual (year to year, e.g. El Niño Southern Oscillation1) or can be inter-decadal (over decades, e.g. Inter decadal Pacific Oscillation). ...
