| Zusammenfassung |
| As the UK is located downstream of the westerly jets associated with the North Atlantic
Oscillation (NAO) in winter, the NAO has a strong influence on wintertime precipitation.
Previous studies have demonstrated that the NAO significantly impacts daily precipitation
extremes over the UK. Here, we report that the influence of the NAO on the frequency of
daily extremes is dependent on the percentile used to define the extreme event. The influence
of the NAO on the frequency of moderate daily precipitation extremes is stronger than the
influence on the frequency of heavy precipitation extremes. This finding provides further
acknowledge of the influence of large-scale circulation on precipitation extremes. |
