Now, researchers from Kyushu University have revealed that this ocean-atmosphere coupling enhances teleconnection patterns -- when climate conditions change across vast regions of the globe -- in the Northern Hemisphere.
From Science Daily
The El Niño-Southern Oscillation, in turn, remotely leads to a meandering jet stream in the mid-latitudes through the formation of large-scale atmospheric circulation patterns, i.e., teleconnection patterns.
From Science Daily
Outside the tropics, in the mid-latitudes, the impact of ocean-atmosphere coupling on teleconnection patterns is less understood.
From Science Daily
"Because extreme weather events are more likely to occur when fluctuations in the jet streams are large -- as in when the magnitude of the teleconnection pattern is large -- it is important to understand the mechanisms that form and maintain said teleconnection pattern," explains Mori.
From Science Daily
The simulations examined the impact of ocean-atmosphere coupling on teleconnection patterns during the Northern Hemisphere's wintertime: December to February.
