The North Atlantic variability structure, storm tracks, and precipitation depending on the polar vortex strength
Motivated by the strong evidence that the state of the northern hemisphere vortex in boreal winter influences tropospheric variability, teleconnection patterns over the North Atlantic are defined separately for winter episodes where the zonal wind at 50 hPa and 65 N is above or below the critical velocity for vertical propagation of zonal planetary wave 1. We argue that the teleconnection struc...
متن کاملVariability of the North Atlantic summer storm track: mechanisms and impacts on European climate
The summertime variability of the extratropical storm track over the Atlantic sector and its links to European climate have been analysed for the period 1948–2011 using observations and reanalyses. The main results are as follows. (1) The dominant mode of the summer storm track density variability is characterized by a meridional shift of the storm track between two distinct paths and is relate...
متن کاملQuasi-periodic climate teleconnections between northern and southern Europe during the 17th–20th centuries
The North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) is the leading mode of atmospheric variability in the North Atlantic region, influencing storm tracks and creating a dipole pattern of precipitation from north to south across Western Europe. This distinct spatial distribution of precipitation provides a framework that can be potentially used to identify and reconstruct patterns of past NAOforced climate var...
متن کاملDecadal variability of extreme wave height representing storm severity in the northeast Atlantic and North Sea since the foundation of the Royal Society
Long-term estimation of extreme wave height remains a key challenge because of the short duration of available wave data, and also because of the possible impact of climate variability on ocean waves. Here, we analyse storm-based statistics to obtain estimates of extreme wave height at locations in the northeast Atlantic and North Sea using the NORA10 wave hindcast (1958-2011), and use a 5 year...
متن کاملNorthern hemisphere winter storm tracks of the Eemian interglacial and the last glacial inception
Climate simulations of the Eemian interglacial and the last glacial inception have been performed by forcing a coupled ocean-atmosphere general circulation model with insolation patterns of these periods. The parameters of the Earth’s orbit have been set to conditions of 125 000 and 115 000 years before present (yr BP). Compared to today, these dates represent periods with enhanced and weakened...
