| Summary: | Over the North Atlantic the eddy-driven jet stream finally separates from the subtropical jet, forming a split jet structure. Free from the steady influence of the Hadley cell, the northern jet is highly variable and its shifts and meanders affect weather and climate patterns around much of the hemisphere. This chapter introduces the North Atlantic Oscillation, the dominant pattern of jet variability, giving an overview of its history and impacts. |
