We present the construction of a continuous, daily (09:00 UTC), station-based (Azores-Iceland) North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) Index back to 1871 which is extended back to 1850 with additional daily mean data. The constructed index more than doubles the length of previously existing, widely available, daily NAO time series. The index is created using entirely observational sea-level pressure (...

Lii-Nao countertransport was measured in red blood cells of 58 normotensive subjects (27 females and 31 males), 60 patients with essential hypertension (26 females and 34 males), and in 28 with secondary hypertension (19 females and 9 males). The mean values (+/- SEM) expressed as mmol Li (1 red cells X hr)-1 were 0.18 +/- 0.02 (females) and 0.20 +/- 0.01 (males) in the control group, 0.34 +/- ...

Changes of the winter North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) variability in response to different climate forcings, and their possible causes, are decomposed and investigated using a set of atmosphere-only timeslice experiments forced by sea surface temperature (SST) from coupled runs. The results indicate that the effects of uniform SST warming and direct CO2 radiative forcing could enhance NAO vari...

Falei tambem da situacao em que nao existe FA na rede, embora eu pense que isso nao interessa neste artigo. Deixei tambem umas imagens no fim que podem ser interessantes. O related work esta um pouco fraco. É supost fazer uma analise mais sucinta daquilo que é proposto no artigo e apontar desvantagens e em relacao à nossa implementacao, e se possivel analisar mais artigos.

Abstract Variability in the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) has contributed to recent multidecadal trends observed European climate, especially winter precipitation over Northern Europe. However, current generation of coupled climate models struggle reproduce NAO's contribution trends, which important implications for deriving constraints based on comparison and modeled trends. An observationa...

Thua nao was a Thai alkali fermented product from soybean by Bacillus and it had a special flavour and aroma. The microorganisms involved in traditional thua nao were mixed natural flora of Bacillus, B. subtilis, B. megaterium and B. cereus, contaminated from cooked soybeans. The product had a very strong smell of ammonia. Ammonia content in dried product was lower than in the wet product. The ...

In this paper, we present the development of postural expressions of emotions for the humanoid robot Nao in an assistive context. The approach is based on the adaptation of human body postures to the case of the Nao robot. In our paper, the association between the joints of human body and the joints of Nao robot are described. The postural expressions are studied for three emotions anger, sadne...

The North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) is modulating the Earth’s ozone shield such that the calculated anthropogenic total ozone decrease is enhanced over Europe whereas over the North Atlantic region it is reduced (for the last 30 years). Including the NAO in a statistical model suggests a more uniform chemical winter trend compared to the strong longitudinal variation reported earlier. At Arosa...

Understanding how climate influences ecosystems represents a challenge in ecology and natural resource management. Although we know that climate affects plant phenology and herbivore performances at any single site, no study has directly coupled the topography-climate interaction (i.e. the climatological downscaling process) with large-scale vegetation dynamics and animal performances. Here we ...

[1] A global ice-ocean model shows increasing Atlantic water (AW) inflow at the Iceland-Scotland Ridge (ISR) during 1953–2002. As a result, the Greenland-IcelandNorwegian (GIN) Sea is gaining more heat and salt from the North Atlantic Ocean, while the latter is being freshened mainly by exporting more salt to the GIN Sea. The exchanges of volume, heat, and freshwater at the Greenland-Scotland R...
