Weather Regime Transitions and the Interannual Variability of the North Atlantic Oscillation. Part II: Dynamical Processes
ABSTRACT In this study, attention is focused on identifying the dynamical processes that contribute to the negative North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) 2 to positive NAO (NAO This finding cannot be detected for NAO events without transition. Moreover, it is found that the amplification of retrograding...

Moreover, it is found that the amplification of retrograding wavenumber 1 is more important for the NAO 2 to NAO 1 transition during P1, but the marked reintensification and retrograde movement of both wavenumbers 1 and 2 after the NAO 1 event decays is crucial for the NAO 1 to NAO 2 transition during P2. It is further shown that destructive (constructive) interference between wavenumbers 1 and 2 over the North Atlantic during P1 (P2) is responsible for the subsequent weak NAO 1 (strong NAO 2 ) anomaly associated with the NAO 2 to NAO 1 (NAO 1 to NAO 2 ) transition.
