North Atlantic Oscillation response to the Madden–Julian Oscillation in a coupled climate model

The response of Iberian rivers to the North Atlantic Oscillation

In this study we analyzed the influence of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) on the streamflow in 187 sub-basins of the Iberian Peninsula. Monthly and one-month lagged correlations were conducted to assess the spatiotemporal extent of the NAO influence on Iberian river discharges. Analysis of the persistence of the winter NAO throughout the year was also undertaken, together with analysis of...

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...

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...
