β¦ Synopsis
The climate variability of the North Atlantic/European sector is characterized by large-scale circulation patterns measured in terms of a time series of two binary variables: the occurrence of a Grosswetter state and of a cluster set of meridional sea level pressure (SLP) gradients (characterizing the westerlies). An outlier test of the decadal behaviour of the residence time of these states identifies the decade 1981 -1990 to be the first outlier. The climatological embedding and a possible stochastic/dynamical interpretation are presented.

The main results of multiproxy climate reconstructions for the Younger Dryas and experiments carried out with an atmospheric general circulation model are discussed. Quantitative temperature inferences for northwestern and central Europe show that winter conditions were remarkably extreme, with valu
A novel approach to climate forecasting on an interannual time scale is described. The approach is based on concepts and techniques from artificial intelligence and expert systems. The suitability of this approach to climate diagnostics and forecasting problems and its advantages compared with conve
