What Does NAO Stand For?
NAO stands for North Atlantic Oscillation
The North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) is a climate phenomenon characterized by fluctuations in atmospheric pressure between the Icelandic Low and the Azores High. It significantly influences weather patterns and climate variability in the North Atlantic region, impacting temperature, precipitation, and storm tracks across Europe and North America. The NAO is often monitored for its role in seasonal forecasting and understanding broader climatic changes.
