A likely outcome of the sunspot peaks’ influence on the North Atlantic Oscillation and Europe in winter
Van Loon, H. (2014). A likely outcome of the sunspot peaks’ influence on the North Atlantic Oscillation and Europe in winter. Meteorlogische Zeitschrift, 23, 75-77. doi:10.1127/0941-2948/2014/0533
The effect on the North Atlantic Oscillation of 15 sunspot peaks depends on whether the Oscillation is in-phase or out-of-phase with the sunspot peaks. When it is in-phase the anomalies of sea-level pressure adds to the average pressure distribution, and when it is out-of-phase it subtracts from ... Show moreThe effect on the North Atlantic Oscillation of 15 sunspot peaks depends on whether the Oscillation is in-phase or out-of-phase with the sunspot peaks. When it is in-phase the anomalies of sea-level pressure adds to the average pressure distribution, and when it is out-of-phase it subtracts from it. Consequently, the atmospheric conditions over Europe in a sunspot peak depends on whether the North Atlantic Oscillation is in- or out-of-phase with the sunspot peak. Show less
