The physical understanding and timely prediction of extreme weather events are of
enormous importance to society due to their associated impacts. In this article, we highlight …

The areal extent, concentration and thickness of sea ice in the Arctic Ocean and adjacent
seas have strongly decreased during the recent decades, but cold, snow-rich winters have …

Bridging the traditional gap between the spatio-temporal scales of weather and climate is a
significant challenge facing the atmospheric community. In particular, progress in both …

Blocking occurrence and its impacts on European temperature have been studied in the last
decade. However, most previous studies on blocking impacts have focused on winter only …

Atmospheric blocking over the northern North Atlantic, which involves isolation of large
regions of air from the westerly circulation for 5 days or more, influences fundamentally the …

Recent studies have hypothesized that Arctic amplification, the enhanced warming of the
Arctic region compared to the rest of the globe, will cause changes in midlatitude weather …

This paper proposes the hypothesis that the low-frequency variability of the North Atlantic
Oscillation (NAO) arises as a result of variations in the occurrence of upper-level Rossby …

Abstract In this paper, Northern Hemisphere winter blocking is analyzed through the
introduction of a set of new bidimensional diagnostics based on geopotential height that …

North Atlantic atmospheric blocking conditions explain part of the winter climate variability in
Europe, being associated with anomalous cold winter temperatures. In this study, the …
