After establishing their importance to the global atmospheric circulation, Simpson went on to demonstrate the influence of hot towers on hurricane intensification.
Sea surface temperature is closely related to atmospheric circulation.
This showed that the early Pliocene had a weakened atmospheric circulation, and therefore, reduced vertical wind shear, which is favorable for tropical cyclone growth.
Both events can be attributed to the same large-scale pattern of atmospheric circulation.
That la Nina is now over, according to scientists, but the patterns of atmospheric circulation that were associated with it are persisting, which could account for some of the drought.
The two events are linked by a large-scale pattern of atmospheric circulation which is producing a particularly persistent area of high pressure over Russia.
"Variations in atmospheric circulation happen spontaneously," says Knight.
The interdecadal variability of surface energy balance and its related regional atmospheric circulation results from that of the global climate system.
These swings trigger changes in atmospheric circulation patterns that, while most prominent in the tropics, also affect circulation patters at higher latitudes as well.
