Persistent Extratropical Regimes and Climate Extremes (2015, unknown): “This signal is seen in CMIP3 [24] as well as CMIP5 models [9, 25] and also in high-resolution model experiments [26].”
Extreme moisture transport into the Arctic linked to Rossby wave breaking (2014, background): “Extreme moisture transport into the Arctic is associated with a “blocking-like” atmospheric circulation pattern [Woods et al., 2013], which is closely related to Rossby wave breaking (RWB) [e.g., Pelly and Hoskins, 2003; Berrisford et al., 2007; Barnes et al., 2012; Masato et al., 2012].”
Responses of midlatitude blocks and wave amplitude to changes in the meridional temperature gradient in an idealized dry GCM (2014, background): “High-latitude blocks do not obstruct the jet but rather displace it equatorward [Berrisford et al., 2007; Woollings et al., 2008], and their identification as blocks is regarded as a weakness in indices that search all latitudes [Barnes et al., 2011] Figure 3.”
Wave‐breaking characteristics of midlatitude blocking (2012, methodology): “An alternative approach has been tested, which identifies blocking regimes as depicted in a Hovmöller plot, similar to Barnes et al. (2011). In this framework (not shown), it is possible to identify blocking events by comparing the DB values on the western and eastern sides of a block.”
