The effects of teleconnection patterns on lake-effect snowfall in the Lake Erie snowbelt, 1951-2007
The relationships between teleconnection patterns the Pacific/North American (PNA) index, North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) and the El Nino/Southern Oscillation (ENSO)—and lake-effect snowfall are examined. Bivariate and partial correlations are used over seasonal and semi-seasonal periods for statio...
