\section{Introduction}
The Pacific South-American (PSA) pattern
comprises has long been recognized as an important mode of
regional climate variability. Formally named by \cite{Mo1987}, the pattern was identified in a
negative sea level pressure (or upper-tropospheric geopotential height) anomaly east number of analyses of
New Zealand, a positive anomaly in the
south-east Pacific over large-scale Southern Hemisphere circulation during the
Amundsen Sea, late 1980s and
a negative anomaly over early 1990s \citep[e.g.][]{Lau1994}. A link between the
South America / Weddell Sea region. The name pattern and Rossby wave dispersion associated with El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) was soon identified \citep[e.g.][]{Karoly1989}, and this work was
coined followed by
Mo & Ghil 1987, but a number of
papers around that time identified this recurrent more detailed analyses of the characteristics of the pattern and
persistent its downstream impacts \citep[e.g.][]{Mo1998,Mo2000,Mo2001}. Interest in the PSA pattern
has resurfaced in
recent years, in relation to the
SH circulation. rapid climatic changes observed in and around West Antarctica. Given the global significance of these changes, we feel that it is important to revisit our understanding of the PSA pattern and its role in high latitude climate variability.
