A contribution to the study of action centres in the North Atlantic
Abstract The North Atlantic High appears notably weakened from the beginning of the examined period (1873–1980) until the beginning of this century. From then until 1930, it exhibits an increased central pressure. From the beginning of the period until 1914, the North Atlantic High exhibits a signif...
