Sentences with phrase «nao conditions»

Every conceivable route of transmission — by air, food, water and vector — was influenced by NAO conditions.

An emerging debate among scientists questions which force will win out over winters in Europe and North America: the cooling influence of more negative NAO conditions, or the warming influence of climate change itself?

I see a whole string of summers with very negative NAO conditions from 2015 - 2024, so I think we will see some very low September sea ice minima again.

No all the models predict lowering Arctic pressure and increasing positive AO / NAO conditions, which cools the Arctic and increases ice extent.

The latter answer was not on what I asked, as that was meant if a lower inflow of salty water (via the Gulf Stream in negative NAO conditions), may be the cause (with relative constant fresh water inflow / precipitation).

The researchers found that, since 1980, NAO conditions have accounted for up to 17 percent of the decline in New England cod stocks.

Not exact matches

Yes, there is an argument for increasing capacity, but as the NAO found, long distance inter-city journeys for the business elite (and MPs of course) is not where any rational person would chuck at least # 50 billion to start the fight against crush - hour conditions.

Today's figures confirm a new report from the National Audit Office (NAO), which finds that in a sample of 115 young people and adults given Asbos, more than half (55 per cent) breached the conditions of their order.

«In winter, a positive North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) is linked with a more northward, vigorous jet and mild, wet, stormy weather over the UK, while a negative NAO tends to be associated with a more southerly - positioned jet and relatively cold and dry but sometimes snowy conditions.

In summer the jet stream is displaced further north, so a positive NAO is typically associated with warm dry weather, while a negative NAO often corresponds to wetter, cooler UK weather conditions.

A pioneering new study has explored how Arctic sea - ice loss influences the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) weather phenomenon, which affects winter weather conditions in Northern Europe, in places such as the UK, Scandinavia and the Baltic states.

The location of this cave in the foreland of the East Carpathian Mountains means winter precipitation is modulated by the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), with wetter conditions influencing the availability of nitrogen within the surrounding forest system.

In this study, the Granger causality test is used to examine the effects of ENSO, PDO, and NAO on global drought conditions.

The government «does not currently know with certainty how the condition of the estate is changing over time», the NAO says.

Capital spending on schools reached # 4.5 billion in 2015 - 16, but the NAO says the forecast deterioration in the condition of the school estate is a «significant risk to long - term value for money», and has questioned the government's approach to school places planning.

All four members show an increased NAO - index for double CO2 conditions.

El Nino intensity and frequency increase during solar minima because negative NAO / AO increases, and major stratospheric volcanic aerosol events increase, also increasing El Nino conditions.

I think what needs explaining, is why negative NAO / AO conditions occur when the solar wind is weak:

The post 1995 AMO and Arctic warming is the natural response to the decline in solar wind pressure since then, by it increasing negative NAO / AO conditions, and thereby increasing the poleward heat transports.

15, Cassou et al. (16) argue that the anomalously warm June 2003 in western Europe could be related to wetter - than - average conditions in the Caribbean that triggered the occurrence of a Rossby wave train pattern stretching from the Caribbean across the Atlantic, whereas the anomalous August 2003 could be associated with a summer NAO - like pattern and enhanced monsoon over the Sahel, which might have been compensated dynamically by anomalously strong downdrafts over Europe.

Although some predictive skill for the NAO may be obtained through knowledge of anomalous boundary conditions, it is limited to lead times of a year or two at best (Scaife et al. 2014; Dunstone et al. 2016).

These conditions are known as the positive phase of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), an index of fluctuating wind and temperature patterns that impacts weather on both sides of the Atlantic.

Though there can be significant differences in regional surface impacts between one SSW event and another, the typical pattern includes changes in sea level pressure resembling the negative phase of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) / Arctic Oscillation (AO), (representing a southward shift in the Atlantic storm track), wetter than average conditions for much of Europe, cold air outbreaks throughout the mid-latitudes, and warmer than average conditions in eastern Canada and subtropical Asia (see figure below, left panel).

This past winter, when conditions were abnormally mild, NAO phase was mostly positive.

Specific conditions for West Europe depend most on what is known as the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO)-- the air pressure difference between Iceland and the Azores.

The next ten years should see the most negative NAO / AO conditions of this solar minimum, and much loss of summer sea ice like 2007 and 2012 and worse.

For instance, in the European sector a more positive NAO in the 1990s led to wetter conditions in northern Europe and drier conditions over the Mediterranean and northern African regions (Figure 1).

However, only weak NAO trends are reproduced in climate simulations of the 20th Century, even with prescribed climate forcings and historical sea - surface conditions.
