Northern hemisphere storm tracks in strong AO anomaly winters
Abstract N orthern Hemisphere winter 300 hPa storm tracks/baroclinic waves and their energetics during strong Arctic Oscillation (AO) anomaly events are investigated. It is shown that during strong positive AO anomaly winters, the Atlantic storm track intensifies significantly and shifts northward a...
