Traffic Bottlenecks: Predicting Atmospheric Blocking With a Diminishing Flow Capacity
Abstract Atmospheric blocking is characterized by persistent anticyclones that “block” the midlatitude jet stream, causing temperature and precipitation extremes. The traffic jam theory posits that blocking events occur when the Local Wave Activity flux, a measure of storm activity, exceeds the carr...
