The possible relationships between atmospheric teleconnections and severe thunderstorm outbreaks in the continental United States
The purpose of this study is to examine possible relationships between changes in values of teleconnection indices related to the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI), North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), Pacific-North American (PNA) pattern, and Arctic Oscillation (AO), and outbreaks of severe thunderstor...
