The potential of recent Arctic changes to influence hemispheric weather is a complex and
controversial topic with considerable uncertainty, as time series of potential linkages are …

We present an extended monthly and seasonal Greenland Blocking Index (GBI) from
January 1851 to December 2015, which more than doubles the length of the existing …

The latest coupled configuration of the Met Office Unified Model (Global Coupled
configuration 2, GC2) is presented. This paper documents the model components which …

Atmospheric blocking represents an important aspect of the mid-latitude weather variability,
but the different processes contributing to its formation and maintenance are not yet fully …

Atmospheric blocking is an important contributor to European temperature variability. It can
trigger cold and warm spells, which is of specific relevance in spring because vegetation is …

Decadal and longer timescale variability in the winter North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) has
considerable impact on regional climate, yet it remains unclear what fraction of this …

This study reconciles two perspectives on wintertime atmospheric variability in the North
Atlantic–European sector: the zonal‐mean framework comprising three preferred locations …

Using 17 CMIP5 and CMIP6 models with a spontaneously generated quasi-biennial
oscillation (QBO)-like phenomenon, this study explores and evaluates three dynamical …

This work analyzes the properties of precipitation in the Hindu-Kush Karakoram Himalaya
region as simulated by thirty-two state-of-the-art global climate models participating in the …

Abstract Using 16 CMIP5/6 models with a spontaneously generated quasi-biennial
oscillation (QBO)-like phenomenon, this study investigates the impact of the QBO on the …
