Simulations of winter blocking episodes using observed sea surface temperatures
TL;DR: In this paper, the formation of major Northern Hemisphere blockings during January 1979 is studied in numerical simulations of the global atmosphere with a sea surface temperature (SST) field updated with observations during the model integration.
