The impact of the AMO on North European Climate
Abstract
This talk analyzes the impact of the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) on North European climate and traces the AMO signal into the Baltic Sea region. With a frequency of 50 - 90 years, effects of the AMO are difficult to evaluate, since observations are limited to about 150 years. To overcome this lack of observational data, a combination of a general circulation model (GCM) and a regional climate model (RCM) is used to analyze the preindustrial period from 950 - 1800. Further, the importance of the AMO for the more recent period 1850 - 2008 is discussed. In summary, it is shown that the AMO plays an important and often neglected role for the climate of the Baltic Sea.
