Winds Hide Atlantic Variability from Europe’s Winters

Shifting winds may explain why long-term fluctuations in North Atlantic sea surface temperatures have no apparent influence on Europe’s wintertime temperatures. The findings, published in Nature Communications, could also have implications for how Europe’s climate will evolve amid global warming. In the mid-1990s, scientists assembled the first century-long record of North Atlantic sea surface temperatures […]
