  The Arctic Oscillation (AO) is the dominant pattern of non-seasonal
  sea-level pressure (SLP) variations north of 20N, and it is
  characterized by SLP anomalies of one sign in the Arctic and anomalies
  of opposite sign centered about 37-45N. Additional information is
  available for the Arctic Oscillation (AO) and for the North Atlantic
  Oscillation (NAO), a close relative of the AO
