• The connection between the Southern Annular Mode and a feature-based perspective on Southern Hemisphere mid-latitude winter variability 

      Spensberger, Clemens; Reeder, Michael John; Spengler, Thomas; Patterson, Matthew (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      This article provides a reconciling perspective on the two main, but contradictory, interpretations of the southern annular mode (SAM). SAM was originally thought to characterize meridional shifts in the storm track across ...
    • The role of Rossby waves in polar weather and climate 

      Woollings, Tim; Li, Camille; Drounard, Marie; Dunn-Sigouin, Etienne; Elmestekawy, Karim; Hell, Momme; Hoskins, Brian; Mbengue, Cheikh; Patterson, Matthew; Spengler, Thomas (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Recent Arctic warming has fuelled interest in the weather and climate of the polar regions and how this interacts with lower latitudes. Several interesting theories of polar-midlatitude linkages involve Rossby wave propagation ...
