A closer comparison of early and late-winter atmospheric trends in the northern hemisphere
Decadal trends are compared in various fields between Northern Hemisphere early winter, November-December (ND), and late-winter, February-March (FM), months using reanalysis data. It is found that in the extratropics and polar region the decadal trends display nearly opposite tendencies between ND a...
