Northern Hemisphere climate variability during winter: Looking back on the work of Felix Exner
We present a brief commentary on the landmark study of Exner (1913), in which an analysis of the correlation between monthly anomalies of “polar pressure” and sea level pressure from numerous stations around the Northern Hemisphere during winter was presented. Exner’s analysis still stands today as...
