A new Rossby wave-breaking interpretation of the North Atlantic Oscillation
This paper proposes the hypothesis that the low-frequency variability of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) arises as a result of variations in the occurrence of upper-level Rossby wave-breaking events over the North Atlantic. These events lead to synoptic situations similar to midlatitude blockin...
