Structure and impact of atmospheric blocking over the Euro-Atlantic region in present-day and future simulations

The spatial structure of winter atmospheric blocking and its impact on the surface temperatures are analyzed for the current climate and a strong CO 2 emission scenario over the Euro-Atlantic sector, using four different global circulation models. The models perform very well in describing the spati...
