Extratropical Cyclogenesis Changes in Connection with Tropospheric ENSO Teleconnections to the North Atlantic: Role of Stationary and Transient Waves
International audience This study investigates mechanisms for changes in wintertime extratropical cyclogenesis over North America and the North Atlantic during different phases of El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO). Insights into the relationship between the ENSO-North Atlantic teleconnection and t...

International audience This study investigates mechanisms for changes in wintertime extratropical cyclogenesis over North America and the North Atlantic during different phases of El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO).
