If it is true, as some studies suggest for example, that El Nino events become more frequent and greater in magnitude due to anthropogenic forcing (this is not yet a settled issue), then, given the established relationship between the El Nino / Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and the extratropical Pacific / North American atmospheric circulation, we might
expect increased baroclinicity and greater
storminess over a substantial region of the mid-latitude North Pacific ocean and neighboring western U.S..
Similarly, if as a number of recent studies suggest, anthropogenic climate forcing leads to a greater tendency for the positive phase of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO)[or related «Arctic Oscillation» (AO)-RSB- pattern, we would
expect increased baroclinicity and
storminess over a substantial region of the mid-latitude North Atlantic ocean and neighboring western Europe..
