A stratospheric influence on the winter NAO and North Atlantic surface climate (2005, background): “Whereas the fundamental dynamics of the NAO are becoming clearer [Ambaum and Hoskins, 2002; Vallis et al., 2004], it remains an outstanding problem to explain past variations in the NAO and to predict its future state.”
Independent Component Analysis of Climate Data: A New Look at EOF Rotation (2009, background): “Perhaps a good example is the ongoing debate within the climate community on whether the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) and the North Pacific Oscillation (NPO) are two different faces of the same coin [i.e., the Arctic Oscillation (AO)] (Ambaum et al. 2001; Vallis et al. 2004; Dommenget 2007).”
Influence of the Tropics on the Southern Annular Mode (2012, background): “…action near 408 and 658S and an equivalent barotropic structure in the vertical (Kidson 1988; Karoly 1990; Shiotani 1990; Hartmann and Lo 1998; Feldstein and Lee 1998; Limpasuvan and Hartmann 2000; Thompson and Wallace 2000; Lorenz and Hartmann 2001; Vallis et al. 2004; Rashid and Simmonds 2004).”
Tropospheric Rossby Wave Breaking and the NAO/NAM (2008, background): “Eddy stirring, which occurs when RWB takes place, forces the NAO on intraseasonal time scales (e.g., Wittman et al. 2005; Vallis et al. 2004).”
A New Rossby Wave–Breaking Interpretation of the North Atlantic Oscillation (2008, background): “The NAO exhibits variability on all time scales, but several recent studies have focused on synoptic time scales in attempts to explain the underlying dynamics (e.g., Vallis et al. 2004; Löptien and Ruprecht 2005).”
Characteristics of the Atlantic Storm-Track Eddy Activity and Its Relation with the North Atlantic Oscillation (2005, background): “The importance of synoptic eddies for the NAO also has been emphasized by Vallis et al. (2004) who presented a simple barotropic model of the NAO and annular modes and demonstrated that such teleconnections can be produced by stochastic stirring that mimics baroclinic eddy development.”
