Thermal effects of the North Atlantic oscillation on the cold period of the year in Lithuania

The impact of the North Atlantic oscillation (NAO) on long-term air temperature fluctuations in Lithuania was studied for period 1865 to 2000. Mean monthly values of 2 NAO indices (NAO-1, NAO-2) and air temperatures at 9 Lithuanian meteorological stations were used as references. Synoptic situations...

Description
Summary:The impact of the North Atlantic oscillation (NAO) on long-term air temperature fluctuations in Lithuania was studied for period 1865 to 2000. Mean monthly values of 2 NAO indices (NAO-1, NAO-2) and air temperatures at 9 Lithuanian meteorological stations were used as references. Synoptic situations, as well as the mean sea level pressure (SLP) and 500 hPa geopotential.
