7 What do we mean by variability? Wittman, Charlton et al. (2005); JCLI
8 Barotropic model: dependence of variability on latitude Variability of jet changes to pulse at high latitudes LDEO

Woollings a a Department of Meteorology, University of Reading, UK b Grantham Institute, Imperial College, London, UK Rossby wave breaking is identified as a key process in blocking occurrence, as it provides the mechanism for the meridional reversal pattern typical of blocking.

34 Conclusions - models still struggle to get correct jet position with climate warming, CMIP5 models show... - a poleward shift of the jet (although seasonally dependent) - amount of wobble of NAO decreases (especially if grouped w.r.t. to jet latitude) - wave breaking and blocking frequency decreases
