A numerical ensemble-mean approach was employed to solve a nonlinear barotropic model with stochastic basic flows to analyze the nonlinear effects in the formation of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO). The nonlinear response to external forcing was more similar to the NAO mode than the linear response was, indicating the importance of nonlinearity. With increasing external forcing and enhanced low-frequency anomalies, the effect of nonlinearity increased. Therefore, for strong NAO events, nonlinearity sh...

1 Introduction The North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) is a prominent mode of the general atmospheric circulation in the North- ern Hemisphere during the winter (Walker and Bliss, 1932; Wallace and Gutzler, 1981) and can be considered part of the global-scal
