The North Pacific Oscillation – West Pacific Teleconnection Pattern : Mature-Phase Structure and Winter Impacts MEGAN E. LINKIN ANDSUMANT NIGAM
ACRONYM • NPO = NORTH Pacific Oscillation • WP = West Pacific • PAO = Pacific Atlantic Oscillation • PNA = Pacific-North American
ABSTRACT • NPO / WP is a prominent mode of winter midlatitude variability consitituted by both the NPO and WP teleconnection pattern. • NPO / WP variability, on subseasonal time scales, is characterized by a large-scale meridional dipole in SLP and geopotential height.
One-point correlations of monthly SLP anomalies during 1958-2001 winters in the ERA-40 dataset A) Rogers NPO base point B) WG81’s NPO base point
NPO pattern affects the Aleutians lows’ location and strength.
NPO / WP upper-air structure The full hemisphere view shows a dualcentered ridge. The westward tilt is slight over the North Pacific with the surface pressure anomaly. The NPO/WP pattern bears some resemblance to the component of climatological stationary waves. The temperature field is hydrostatically consistent with the height distribution.
NPO/WP geopotential height and temperature regressions. A) geopotential height -shading / thin contours b) temperature – thick contours
Zonal wind and divergence regressions • A) NPO/WP zonal wind • B) NPO/WP horizontal divergence • C) A in PNA mode
NPO/WP zonal wind and divergent circulation A) zonal wind – contoured / shaded B) divergent circulation - vectors
How the heating anomalies affects the storm tracks. A) meridional wind variance B) meridional heat flux C) vertically integrated diabatic heating
The NPO/WP regressions for the climatological winter precipitation and surface air temperature over North America A)B) CRU data C)D) NPO/WP regression in the same field
The advective temperature change arising from the 925-hPa NPO circulation
Regressions on Sea of Okhotsk and Bering Sea ice concentration during the 1979-2001 winter months A) NPO/WP index B) WG81 WP index
The comparisons of PNA and ENSO. A)B) sea level pressure C)D) precipitation E)F) surface temperature
