• Analysis of storm surge events along the Norwegian coast 

      Wolf, Tobias; Outten, Stephen; Mangini, Fabio; Chen, Linling; Nilsen, Jan Even Øie (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023-02-08)
      Observed extreme sea levels are caused by a combination of extreme astronomical tide and extreme storm surge, or by an extreme value in one of these variables and a moderate value in the other. We analyzed measurements ...
    • Dynamical drivers of Greenland blocking in climate models 

      Michel, Clio; Madonna, Erica; Spensberger, Clemens; Li, Camille; Outten, Stephen (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Blocking over Greenland is known to lead to strong surface impacts, such as ice sheet melting, and a change in its future frequency can have important consequences. However, as previous studies demonstrated, climate models ...
    • Reconciling conflicting evidence for the cause of the observed early 21st century Eurasian cooling 

      Outten, Stephen; Li, Camille; King, Martin Peter; Suo, Lingling; Siew, Yu Feng; Cheung, Hoffman; Davy, Richard; Dunn-Sigouin, Etienne; Furevik, Tore; He, Shengping; Madonna, Erica; Sobolowski, Stefan Pieter; Spengler, Thomas; Woollings, Tim (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      It is now well established that the Arctic is warming at a faster rate than the global average. This warming, which has been accompanied by a dramatic decline in sea ice, has been linked to cooling over the Eurasian ...
    • The Role of Mid-latitude Westerly Jet in the Impacts of November Ural Blocking on Early-Winter Warmer Arctic-Colder Eurasia Pattern 

      Xu, Xinping; He, Shengping; Zhou, Botao; Wang, Huijun; Outten, Stephen (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Based on statistical analysis using observations and idealized model simulations, previous studies have revealed the potential response of early-winter atmospheric circulation and temperature anomalies to November Ural ...
