m Lord Bolingbroke moved page Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation to Interdecadal Pacific oscillation: Requested by Colonies Chris at WP:RM/TR: Standard capitalisation. For some unknown reason I can't do this move, even though the new name is just a redirect that I created myself and hasn't been edited since.

The I'''nterdecadalInterdecadal Pacific oscillation''' ('''IPO''') is an oceanographic/meteorological phenomenon similar to the [[Pacific decadal oscillation]] (PDO), but occurring in a wider area of the Pacific. While the PDO occurs in mid-latitudes of the Pacific Ocean in the northern hemisphere, the IPO stretches from the southern hemisphere into the northern hemisphere.
 
The period of oscillation is roughly 15-3015–30 years. Positive phases of the IPO are characterized by a warmer than average tropical Pacific and cooler than average northern Pacific. Negative phases are characterized by an inversion of this pattern, with cool tropics and warm northern regions.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://climatology.co.uk/interdecadal-pacific-oscillation#.WuHZ9sjRXIU|title=Climatology - Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation (IPO)|website=climatology.co.uk|access-date=2018-04-26}}</ref>
 
The IPO had positive phases (southeastern tropical Pacific warm) from 1922 to 1946 and 1978 to 1998, and a negative phase between 1947 and 1976.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Salinger |first1=M.J. |last2=Renwick |first2=J.A. |last3=Mullan |title=Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation and South Pacific Climate |journal=[[International Journal of Climatology]] |volume=21 |pages=1705–1721 |year=2001 |doi=10.1002/joc.691 |issue=14 |first3=A.B.|bibcode=2001IJCli..21.1705S}}</ref>
