Description
Summary:Teleconnections between the midlatitudes of the Northern and Southern Hemispheres are diagnosed in National Centers for Environmental Prediction-National Center for Atmospheric Research reanalysis data and separately in European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts reanalysis data. The teleconnections are manifested as a small but significant tendency for blocking to occur simultaneously in the two hemispheres, though at different longitudes and different relative latitudes, during boreal winters over the period 1979-94 in both datasets.
