Further investigation of NAO-winter rainfall links
The North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) is a major atmospheric circulation feature shown to control winter precipitation amounts in Western Europe. In this short study the incorporation of absolute pressure values in the Azores and Iceland in the NAO is evaluated. In addition a comparison between the s...
