atmospheric circulation. While the wintry wind characteristics correlate with preferenc 
es of the North Atlantic Oscillation for its negative mode during the cold SST regime, 
and, conversely, for its positive mode during the current warm regime (Loewe et al. 
2003), the NAO cannot probably be held responsible for the alternation in the sum 
mery wind climates, even though the Azores high is expected to be a key player.
