Although the theory is still being explored, teleconnections are thought to
link land use to changes in the
polar jet stream, the paths of tropical cyclones, and the frequencies and intensities of droughts, floods, heat waves, and other weather events.
The strength of the Icelandic Low is the critical factor in determining path of the
polar jet stream over the North Atlantic In the winter the IL is located at SW of Greenland (Subpolar Gyre) In summer the IL is to be found much further north (most likely the North Icelandic Jet, formed by complex physical interactions between warm and cold currents) These two run under two different regimes and two clocks (see the CET synthesis from 3 harmonics, one for each summer and winter, and one common — see the above link, bottom grap
