The Scandinavian pattern. Low-frequency atmospheric variability and autumn/winter rainfall in Norway

Teleconnection in the atmosphere are coherent large-scale patterns of variation in climate fields (eg pressure, temperature and preciptation). These are vital for understanding regional climate variability since they influence both the location and intens ity of the major jet streams and associat...
