Inorganic Carbon Dynamics, Ocean Acidification and Climate Change
NGAO Index
The Northern Gulf of Alaska Oscillation index (NGAO) describes the strength of the cyclonic circulation in the Gulf of Alaska and therefore the intensity of the offshore upwelling in the Alaskan gyre and coastal downwelling (Hauri et al., 2021).
