    Abstract

    The harsh winter of 2009–2010 with an extended period of very cold temperatures and low wind speeds has been attributed to the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO). The NAO is the change in pressure difference between the Azores High and the Icelandic Low pressure systems and it is the main driver of winter climate variability over the North Atlantic region. Positive NAO phases are associated with wet, warm and windy conditions in Ireland and, as in 2009-2010, negative phases with dry, cold conditions and calm winds.
