Title: A new driver for the Atlantic`s moods and Europe`s weather?

Abstract

This article describes current ideas about what drive the decade-long swings in North Atlantic wind and weather. It appears not to be random but rather a complex interaction between the ocean and the atmosphere, something like the shorter oscillations in the tropical Pacific Ocean - the southern oscillation. In higher latitudes, the existence of such an ocean-atmosphere link has never been clear, but new data suggest such a connection - the North Atlantic Oscillation. 2 figs.
