Sea surface height changes in the North Atlantic Ocean related to the North Atlantic Oscillation

Temporal and spatial characteristics of sea surface height variability in the North Atlantic Ocean

We investigate the spatial and temporal variability of sea surface height (SSH) in the North Atlantic basin using satellite altimeter data from October 1992–January 2004. Our primary aim is to provide a detailed description of such variability, including that associated with propagating signals. We also investigate possible correlations between SSH variability and atmospheric pressure changes a...

The Influence of Atlantic Sea Surface Temperature Anomalies on the North Atlantic Oscillation

The influence of Atlantic sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies on the atmospheric circulation over the North Atlantic sector during winter is investigated by performing experiments with an atmospheric general circulation model (GCM). These consist of a 30-year run with observed SST anomalies for the period 1961–90 confined geographically to the Atlantic Ocean, and of a control run with clima...

The central role of ocean dynamics in connecting the North Atlantic Oscillation 1 to the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation

Past and recent changes in the North Atlantic oscillation

The North Atlantic oscillation (NAO) is under current climate conditions the leading mode of atmospheric circulation variability over the North Atlantic region. While the pattern is present during the entire year, it is most important during winter, explaining a large part of the variability of the large-scale pressure field, being thus largely determinant for the weather conditions over the No...

an analysis on relationship between north atlantic oscillation and sea surface temperature of atlantic ocean with rainfall & temperature variability in lorestan province

in this research, effect of north atlantic oscillation and sea surface temperature (sst) of atlantic ocean on precipitation and temperature of lorestan province and its effect on occurrence of drought and wet in this province were investigated. so, data of teleconnection indices used as an index for determination of fluctuations of pressure and sea surface temperature in atlantic ocean, amount ...
