Is long range transport of pollen in the NW Mediterranean basin influenced by Northern Hemisphere teleconnection patterns?
Climatic oscillations triggered by the atmospheric modes of the Northern Hemisphere teleconnection patterns have an important influence on the atmospheric circulation at synoptic scale in Western Mediterranean Basin. Simultaneously, this climate variability could affect a variety of ecological proce...

The positive phase of annual WeMO was also positively correlated with regional transport of Corylus from this area.
