Abstract Purpose of Review Atmospheric blocking events represent some of the most high-
impact weather patterns in the mid-latitudes, yet they have often been a cause for concern in …

Society is vulnerable to extreme weather events and, by extension, to human impacts on
future events. As climate changes weather patterns will change. The search is on for more …

The frequencies of atmospheric blocking in both winter and summer and the changes in
them from the twentieth to the twenty-first centuries as simulated in 12 models from phase 5 …

Some studies have suggested a recent increase in high-impact persistent circulation
regimes in the extratropics. In this brief review paper, we discuss some aspects of this work …

Abstract Changes in future North Atlantic storminess will impact upon wave conditions along
the European coasts, with implications for coastal erosion, overtop**, and flood risk. In this …

Polar front jet stream variability is responsible for instances of extreme weather and is crucial
for regional climate change. The North Atlantic Polar Front jet stream is of particular …

Blocks are high-impact atmospheric systems of the mid-/high latitudes and have been widely
addressed in meteorological and climatological studies. However, the diversity of blocking …

The mechanistic pathways connecting ocean-atmosphere variability and terrestrial
productivity are well-established theoretically, but remain challenging to quantify empirically …

The Northern Hemisphere stratospheric polar vortex (SPV) plays a key role in mid-latitude
weather and climate. However, in what way the SPV will respond to global warming is not …

The atmosphere's chaotic nature limits its short-term predictability. Furthermore, there is little
knowledge on how the difficulty of forecasting weather may be affected by anthropogenic …
