Cornell and Rutgers researchers report in the March issue of Oceanography that the severe loss of summertime Arctic sea ice - attributed to greenhouse warming - appears to enhance Northern Hemisphere jet stream meandering, intensify Arctic air mass invasions toward middle latitudes, and increase the frequency of atmospheric blocking events like the one that steered Hurricane Sandy west into the densely populated New York City area.

«Analysis of observations indicate that this heat wave was mainly due to internal atmospheric dynamical processes that produced and maintained a strong and long - lived blocking event, and that similar atmospheric patterns have occurred with prior heat waves in this region.

If researchers are interested in a link between Sandy's storm track and climate change, then a better question to ask would be «have Greenland blocking events been affected by rising CO2 and climate change?»

A high - pressure blocking event, which may have been climate change - related, steered the storm toward the East Coast rather than out to sea.

The indications are that the current blocking event is intrinsic to the natural variability of summer climate in this region, a region which has a climatological vulnerability to blocking and associated heat waves (e.g., 1960, 1972, 1988).

Another side - effect is that as the jet stream waves become larger, they slow down or even stall at times, leading to a significant increase in so - called blocking events.

It's all due to blocking events.»

Lupo, in collaboration with Russian researchers from the Russian Academy of Sciences, will simulate atmospheric blocking using computer models that mirror known blocking events, then introduce differing carbon dioxide environments into the models to study how the dynamics of blocking events are changed by increased atmospheric temperatures.

The cold winters were associated with a persistent «blocking event», bringing in cold air over Europe from the north and the east.

But because the Arctic is warming faster than the planet, on average, it does affect the jet stream and the chance of having blocking events, where the storms stall.

Traditionally called «blocking events», we can choose to describe them with the more intuitive name «jet stream stickiness».

The fact is, while we understand jet stream dynamics quite well, our models do not capture the blocking events, and the efforts to develop a theory of blocking have not been entirely successful.

Lupo (as a NIPCC co-author someone whose results should perhaps be examined more carefully than usual) has a blocking event page that may contain some useful information.

While the researchers did note a model - projected small future increase in the frequency of blocking patterns over the Atlantic (the ones which impact the weather in the U.S.), they found that the both the strength of the blocking events as well as the associated surface temperature anomalies over the continental U.S. were considerably moderated.

Masato and his colleagues looked at how the magnitude and frequency of atmospheric blocking events in the Atlantic - Europe region is projected to change in the future according to four climate models which the authors claim match the observed characteristics of blocking events in this region pretty well.

We're getting these blocking events — where a stationary high keeps weather systems in the same location for several days, perhaps a week or more — that can bring real extremes.
