For example, extensions of the Azores high pressure may bring about anticyclonic gloom during the winter, as they are warmed at the base and will trap moisture as they move over the warmer oceans.
32.
Tehuantepecers primarily occur during the cold season months for the region in the wake of cold fronts, between October and February, with a summer maximum in July caused by the westward extension of the Azores High.
33.
A permanent low-pressure system over Iceland ( the Icelandic Low ) and a permanent high-pressure system over the Azores ( the Azores High ) control the direction and strength of westerly winds into Europe.
34.
The Azores High is associated with the Mediterranean climate found in southern Europe and north Africa and the Sahara Desert ( as well as that of the Azores, Canary Islands, and other eastern Atlantic islands ).
35.
However, during the winter of 2009 & ndash; 2010, the Azores High was smaller, displaced to the northeast and weaker than usual, allowing sea surface temperatures in the Central Atlantic to increase quickly.
36.
Summer ( June mid September ) is usually warm and continental air from mainland Europe or the Azores High usually leads to at least a few weeks of hot, balmy weather with prolonged warm to hot weather.
37.
Additionally, the North Atlantic Oscillation, Arctic oscillation, Arctic dipole anomaly, Azores High position, Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation and other climate oscillations all affect the atmospheric circulation, and likely the position of the Gulf Stream in association.
38.
:* " Because of several factors, including a rapidly forming El Ni�o event, Saharan Air Layer over the tropical Atlantic and the presence of high pressure area to the Azores high situated near Bermuda contributed to a below average season . " What does that mean?
39.
As the cyclone moved northwestward along the southern periphery of the Azores High, it began a period of rapid deepening in which a " pinhole " eye became distinguishable on satellite imagery; on this basis, Danielle was upgraded to a hurricane at 1200 UTC on August 25.
40.
Most of the rain is concentrated in the winter months, due to the Azores High which influences the prevailing northern winds, known as " Nortadas ", arise in the summer after midday . which is composed of salt from surf and sea spray, with lesser amounts of iodine from the outlaying kelp forests.
