GULF-STREAM VARIABILITY AND EUROPEAN CLIMATE

The influence of mid-latitude oceanic variability on the atmospheric general circulation is not well understood. Nevertheless, some modelling and observational evidence is presented to suggest that, in winter-time, persistent sea surface temperature anomalies near Newfoundland could influence climat...

Description
Summary:The influence of mid-latitude oceanic variability on the atmospheric general circulation is not well understood. Nevertheless, some modelling and observational evidence is presented to suggest that, in winter-time, persistent sea surface temperature anomalies near Newfoundland could influence climate downstream over Europe. The discussion is summary of a more extensive paper which recently appeared in the Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society.-Author
