Detection of external influence on trends of atmospheric storminess and northern oceans wave heights
- States that the atmospheric storminess as inferred from geostrophic wind energy and ocean wave heights have increased in boreal winter over the past half century in the high-latitudes of the northern hemisphere (especially the northeast North Atlantic), and have decreased in more southerly northern latitudes
- This study shows that these trend patterns contain a detectable response to anthropogenic and natural forcing combined
- Finds that the effect of external influence is strongest in the winter hemisphere (in the northern hemisphere in January–March and in the southern hemisphere in July–September)
- Finds, however, that the simulated response to anthropogenic and natural forcing combined is significantly weaker than the magnitude of the observed changes in these parameters
