Bidimensional Diagnostics, Variability, and Trends of Northern Hemisphere Blocking (2012, background): “However, IB frequency is dominated by high-latitude events occurring over the North Pacific– eastern Siberia and over Greenland [defined as highlatitude blocking (HLB); Berrisford et al. 2007].”
Aspects of a Northern Hemisphere Atmospheric Blocking Climatology (2008, methodology): “However, it has recently been found by Berrisford et al. (2007) that for the Southern Hemisphere, with its double winter jet, it is preferable to extend the analysis to a consideration of B as a function of two spatial dimensions.”
Atmospheric Blocking and Mean Biases in Climate Models (2010, methodology): “We use the two-dimensional blocking index of Berrisford et al. (2007) applied to the Northern Hemisphere (Fig.”
Extreme moisture transport into the Arctic linked to Rossby wave breaking (2014, background): “Although a surface albedo feedback may play a role in this amplified warming [e.g., Manabe and Wetherald, 1975; Manabe and Stouffer, 1980], some studies also highlight longwave radiation as another potential culprit [e.g., Winton, 2006; Graversen and Wang, 2009].”
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.”
A New Rossby Wave–Breaking Interpretation of the North Atlantic Oscillation (2008, methodology): “As discussed in Berrisford et al. (2007) , the term “blocking” is generally used to describe an atmospheric phenomenon in which a large, quasi-stationary anticyclone develops in the midlatitudes and persists for several days or longer, blocking the ambient westerly winds and weather systems.”
An Evaluation of the Large‐Scale Atmospheric Circulation and Its Variability in CESM2 and Other CMIP Models (2020, methodology): “During the wintertime (Figure 16a), blocking occurs primarily in the Pacific sector (Berrisford et al., 2007; Sinclair, 1996), where the SH jet stream splits giving rise to blocking favorable conditions (Trenberth & Mo, 1985).”
Solar Influence on Global and Regional Climates (2012, methodology): “and Weber (2005) yield response times of up to 10 years. Held et al. (2010) use both an 506 Surv Geophys (2012) 33:503–534”
Associations between stratospheric variability and tropospheric blocking (2010, background): “We focus on the two “ active seasons ” for stratosphere ‐ troposphere interaction, namely November – March (NDJFM) in the Northern Hemisphere and August – November (ASON) in the Southern Hemisphere [ Thompson and Wallace , 2000; Baldwin et al. , 2003; Black and McDaniel , 2007].”
