Sensitivity of teleconnection patterns to the sign of their primary action center

Since the boreal winters showed largest variability and clearest teleconnection patterns over the extratropical latitudes (e.g., Blackmon et al. 1984a; Kushnir and Wallace 1989), we choose to analyze the wintertime teleconnections only. According to sampling theory (e.g., Morrison 1983), a z score s...

Description
Summary:Since the boreal winters showed largest variability and clearest teleconnection patterns over the extratropical latitudes (e.g., Blackmon et al. 1984a; Kushnir and Wallace 1989), we choose to analyze the wintertime teleconnections only. According to sampling theory (e.g., Morrison 1983), a z score statistic Z, at any given grid point, can be defined as follows: ...
