SUMMARY:A regime view of the North Atlantic Oscillation and Atlantic jetst
 ream variability - Tim Woollings (University of Reading)

CONTACT:Christian Franzke
DESCRIPTION:Variations of the atmospheric jetstreams over the North Atlant
 ic result\nin large variability of the climate of western Europe on timesc
 ales of\nweeks to decades. The North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) is a parti
 cularly\ndramatic example of such jetstream variations\, but it is not the
  only\nexample. This talk will give a general overview of the NAO and Atla
 ntic\njetstream variability\, and will then show evidence that there are a
  few\npreferred states\, or regimes\, within the spectrum of flow variatio
 ns.\nImplications for the predictability of European weather\, and for the
 \natmospheric response to anthropogenic forcing\, will also be discussed.
