Impacts of winter-NAO on March cooling trends over subtropical Eurasia continent in the recent half century

[1] At odds with global warming trends, surface air temperature over large subtropical Eurasia continent in spring March exhibits unique strong cooling over the last half century. The cause for this cooling is shown to be related to Winter (DJF) North Atlantic Oscillation (W-NAO). Positive values of...

Description
Summary:[1] At odds with global warming trends, surface air temperature over large subtropical Eurasia continent in spring March exhibits unique strong cooling over the last half century. The cause for this cooling is shown to be related to Winter (DJF) North Atlantic Oscillation (W-NAO). Positive values of W-NAO provoke cooling signals in northern Africa continent simultaneously from surface to tropopause. The W-NAO generated signals barotropically extend eastward over most of subtropical Eurasia and
