The Gulf Stream influence on wintertime North Atlantic jet variability

In this article we investigate the influence of the Gulf Stream sea-surface temperature (SST) front on the North Atlantic eddy-driven jet and its variability, by analysing the NCEP-CFSR dataset and a pair of AGCM simulations forced with realistic and …

The response of the Pacific storm track and atmospheric circulation to Kuroshio Extension variability

An index of the Kuroshio Extension front strength is produced using a maximum covariance analysis between sea-surface temperature (SST) and sea-surface height (SSH) gradient observations, and composites of the atmospheric state are presented during …
