The Arctic and North Atlantic Oscillation, Past, Present, and Future
The Arctic and North Atlantic Oscillations are highly correlated and
known to have an impact on climate variability from America to Europe
through both atmospheric and oceanic processes. There is considerable
interest in the paleoclimatic evidence for these oscillations. Despite
recent modeling efforts and attempts to reconstruct this phenomenon over
the last millennium, we still do not understand its cause or have a firm
grip on its periodicity over more than the last century. The purpose of
this session is to bring together atmospheric scientists,
oceanographers, and paleoceanographers to discuss what is known and
where the directions of future research lie regarding this important
climate phenomenon. Talks and posters are invited on all aspects of the
Arctic and North Atlantic Oscillation, its past, present, or future
guise and ramifications.
