Variability of teleconnections between the Atlantic subtropical high and the Indian monsoon low and related impacts on summer temperature over Egypt

Abstract A robust subtropical circulation index (SCI) is defined as the difference between the North Atlantic subtropical high and the Indian monsoon low. The SCI is negatively correlated to air temperatures over Egypt and is associated with large‐scale climate indices of the tropical and subtropica...

Description
Summary:Abstract A robust subtropical circulation index (SCI) is defined as the difference between the North Atlantic subtropical high and the Indian monsoon low. The SCI is negatively correlated to air temperatures over Egypt and is associated with large‐scale climate indices of the tropical and subtropical Atlantic sector.
