Changes to North Atlantic oscillation could increase frequency of cold snaps, floods and storms, says study
Scientists warn that climate change-induced alterations to the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) could intensify winter flooding and storm damage in northwestern Europe. The NAO, a key driver of regional weather patterns, may experience unprecedented changes due to greenhouse gases and volcanic eruptions, potentially leading to more frequent extreme weather events. Current climate models may underestimate the severity of these changes, highlighting the need for improved predictive capabilities.
