Acronym Help Please

#1 Postby Guest » Tue Aug 12, 2003 12:26 pm

I did a search and was unsuccessful. I've got the basics like LLC low level circulation ITZ and so on, but some of the others are beyond me. Please post the most common for this board.

Thanks.

Besides WTH? (my personal favorite) :-)

MJO = Madden Julian Oscillation
NAO = North Atlantic Oscillation
SAL = Saharan Air Layer
