Dynamics Behind NAO
qThe North Atlantic Oscillation is considered as a natural variability
of the
atmosphere.
qHowever, processes in the ocean and
stratosphere and even the anthropogenic activity can affect its amplitude and phase.
qSurface winds of the NAO can force
sea surface temperature variability in the Atlantic Ocean.
qFeedbacks from the ocean further
affect NAO variability.
