Cod and climate: effect of the North Atlantic Oscillation on recruitment in the North Atlantic

The impact of the environment on interannual variability in fish recruitment has proven difficult to establish empirically, and environment-recruitment correlations have often been found to break down when more data become available. This may suggest that the statistical models have failed to capture the essential explanatory variables, or that environment-recruitment relationships are non-stat...

Climate : North Atlantic and Arctic Oscillation ( NAO / AO )

The Response of Freshwater Ecosystems to Climate Variability Associated with the North Atlantic Oscillation

Freshwater ecosystems have been repeatedly shown to respond significantly to large-scale climatic fluctuations [e.g., Strub et al., 1985; Firth and Fisher, 1992; George and Taylor, 1995; Anderson et al., 1996; Schindler, 1997]. Because human demand for high-quality fresh water is continually increasing, the practical relevance of such responses for the large-scale management of inland waters is...

Drivers of North Atlantic Oscillation Events

This work is set out to quantify the contribution of tropical and extratropical atmospheric forcing mechanisms to the formation of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) pattern. Although the NAO varies on a wide range of time scales, we focus on 10 60 d. At these time scales, mechanisms are at play in the atmosphere that can generate the characteristic dipole pattern. We focus on the tropical Ro...
