Climate Variability
North Atlantic climate variability has received much attention since the IPCC third assessment report. A selection of what has been published is presented here. North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) Marshall et al. (2001) present a comprehensive review of the state of knowledge of Atlantic variability, i...

North Atlantic climate variability has received much attention since the IPCC third assessment report. A selection of what has been published is presented here. North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) Marshall et al. (2001) present a comprehensive review of the state of knowledge of Atlantic variability, including the NAO, tropical variability and meridional overturning circulation. Another review of the NAO is given by Wanner et al. (2001). Cassou et al. (2004) examined the stationarity of the NAO and highlight the differences between its two phases. Eastward displacement of the centres of action during the NAO+ phase (Jung et al. (2003) raises questions about the relevance of a station-based index. The role of SSTs is examined.
