Could someone familiar with the format please replace the dead link ref 10 with the correct link to data at NOAA: https://psl.noaa.gov/data/20thC_Rean/timeseries/monthly/SAM/

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified 2 external links on Antarctic oscillation. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:
 * Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20081216220433/http://stratus.astr.ucl.ac.be/textbook//pdf/Chapter_5.pdf to http://stratus.astr.ucl.ac.be/textbook//pdf/Chapter_5.pdf
 * Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20110706132255/http://stratus.astr.ucl.ac.be/textbook/chapter5_node6.html to http://stratus.astr.ucl.ac.be/textbook/chapter5_node6.html

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

Proposed name change of page to Southern Annual Mode
I propose changing the name of this article to Southern Annual Mode (SAM). Although both SAM and AAO are valid terms, SAM is more commonly used amongst current researchers in the weather/climate community. SAM is also used by the Bureau of Meteorology, who discuss the phenomenon publicly as a driver of weather in Australia, therefore I think the term might be coming more common amongst the general public too (at least, some of the general pubic who are likely to be affected by the SAM!). This is an example of current research in a high profile journal https://journals.ametsoc.org/doi/ref/10.1175/JCLI-D-19-0224.1 looking at the references there are 2 that use AAO and 8 that use SAM. I realise this isn't definitive "evidence" for the use of SAM, but I think it's a good example.

There are valid arguments against a change, i.e. 'AAO' is used by NOAA https://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/precip/CWlink/daily_ao_index/aao/aao.shtml, also there's a nice symmetry with the Arctic Oscillation wiki page.

I'm interested to hear what other people think before making any changes.
