Abstract

North Atlantic plays a pivotal role in modulating the Earth's climate by absorbing, releasing, and transferring large amounts of heat all over the world. Sea level pressure (SLP), sea surface temperature (SST), and air temperature (Tair) are strongly influenced by climate change and can affect Earth's weather and climate conditions. This study aims to investigate the role of SLP, SST, and Tair in the formation of teleconnection patterns in the North Atlantic (e.g., NAO, AO). Pearson correlation and cross-correlation analysis are used to identify the relationship between the climate parameters as well as between these parameters and the teleconnection patterns. SLP over Northern Atlantic presents positive correlation with NAO and negative correlation with AO, while an above average value of NAO is likely to lead to a below average value of SST approximately 20 days later or earlier depending on the study region. Tair changes seem to occur with a day difference from NAO and AO changes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
