RISA Description of Interdecadal Time-Scale Propagating North Atlantic Sea Surface Temperature Anomalies and Their Effect on Winter European Climate, 1948–2002
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Eastward-propagating interdecadal time-scale sea surface temperature (SST) winter anomalies have been shown to exist at the North Atlantic subpolar/subtropical gyre boundary. Heat flux and surface air temperature signatures ...
The Effect of Ocean Dynamics and Orography on Atmospheric Storm Tracks
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The control of atmospheric storm tracks by ocean dynamics, orography, and their interaction is investigated using idealized experiments with a simplified coupled atmosphere?ocean climate model. The study focuses on the ...
North Atlantic SST Anomalies and the Cold North European Weather Events of Winter 2009/10 and December 2010
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: orthern Europe experienced consecutive periods of extreme cold weather in the winter of 2009/10 and in late 2010. These periods were characterized by a tripole pattern in North Atlantic sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies ...
Loop Current Variability as Trigger of Coherent Gulf Stream Transport Anomalies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractSatellite observations and output from a high-resolution ocean model are used to investigate how the Loop Current in the Gulf of Mexico affects the Gulf Stream transport through the Florida Straits. We find that ...
