Decoupling of the Arctic Oscillation and North Atlantic Oscillation in a warmer climate

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 11 January 2021; doi:10.1038/s41558-020-00966-8

The Arctic Oscillation and North Atlantic Oscillation are modes of Northern Hemisphere climate variability with high temporal and spatial correlation. With strong warming, climate models suggest their link breaks down due to a divergent response to the Pacific and Atlantic oceans and stratosphere.
