The record‐breaking cold temperatures during the winter of 2009/2010 in the Northern Hemisphere
Abstract In this study, we show that the record‐breaking cold temperatures from North America to Europe and Asia during the period of 28 December 2009 to 13 January 2010 are associated with extremely negative values of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) index, which produce northerly surface wind...
