Abstract
The results of the individual analysis of six cases of Atlantic blocking action are presented in the form of mean surface and upper-level pressure distributions and of mean regional precipitation and surface-temperature isanomal patterns for winter and for summer blocked periods over the European area. A “mean” blocked sea-level pressure distribution, together with its associated isanomal pattern, are compared with similar charts constructed for a case of strong European zonal flow. A summary of the weather regime associated with European blocking is given, and variable blocking activity is discussed as a factor in the recent climatic change which has been observed over the North Atlantic-European area.
