The North Atlantic Oscillation

Science, 2001
The North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) dictates climate variability from the eastern seaboard of the United States to Siberia and from the Arctic to the subtropical Atlantic, especially during winter. It strongly affects agricultural yields, water management, fish inventories, and terrestrial ecology.

Temperature Oscillations in the North Atlantic

Science, 2000
Richard Kerr's News article “A North Atlantic climate pacemaker for the centuries” (16 June, p. [1984][1]) describes a 50- to 70-year temperature oscillation over the North Atlantic Ocean, but did not mention our 1994 Nature paper “An oscillation in the global climate system of period 65 ...

Arctic Oscillation or North Atlantic Oscillation?

Journal of Climate, 2001
Abstract The definition and interpretation of the Arctic oscillation (AO) are examined and compared with those of the North Atlantic oscillation (NAO). It is shown that the NAO reflects the correlations between the surface pressure variability at its centers of action, whereas this is not the case for the AO.

Ecological effects of the North Atlantic Oscillation

Oecologia, 2001
Climatic oscillations as reflected in atmospheric modes such as the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) may be seen as a proxy for regulating forces in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Our review highlights the variety of climate processes related to the NAO and the diversity in the type of ecological responses that different biological groups can ...

Pinkness of the North Atlantic Oscillation signal revisited

Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 2010
The long episode of negative values in the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) index during the winter season 2009–2010 has attracted more attention to its predictability. Previous analyses (Fernández et al. (2003) [16] and Caldeira et al. (2007) [25]) by this same author group have established that the NAO signal behaves as a slightly red noise and ...

The North Atlantic Oscillation

Stochastic Environmental Research and Risk Assessment, 2000
The North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) is the most important mode of variability in the northern hemisphere (NH) atmospheric circulation. Put simply, the NAO measures the strength of the westerly winds blowing across the North Atlantic Ocean between 40°N and 60°N. The NAO is not a regional, North Atlantic phenomenon, however, but rather is hemispheric in

Decoupling of the Arctic Oscillation and North Atlantic Oscillation in a warmer climate

Nature Climate Change, 2021
The North Atlantic Oscillation and the Arctic Oscillation are modes of climate variability affecting temperature and precipitation in the mid-latitudes. Here we use reanalysis data and climate model simulations of historical and warm climates to show that the relationship between the two oscillations changes with climate warming.

Climate change and the North Atlantic Oscillation

2003
Over recent decades the boreal winter index of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) has exhibited an upward trend, corresponding to lowered surface pressure over the Arctic and increased surface pressure over the subtropical North Atlantic. This trend has been associated with over half the winter surface warming in Eurasia over the past thirty years ...
