Regime Shifts in Arctic Oscillation (AO) Variability 1951–2009
Abstract Arctic Oscillation (AO) reflects the dominating mode of SLP (or 1000hPa) variability in hemispheric scale and seems to bear an effect on the weather and, in longer time scales, on climate. The aim of the research was to identify the possible regime shifts in the multiannual course of AO ind...
