Aleutian Low

The Aleutian Low is a semi-permanent low-pressure system located near the Aleutian Islands in the Bering Sea during the Northern Hemisphere winter. Icelandic Low and Aleutian Low are types of cyclone.

See Icelandic Low and Aleutian Low

Atmospheric pressure

Atmospheric pressure, also known as air pressure or barometric pressure (after the barometer), is the pressure within the atmosphere of Earth.

See Icelandic Low and Atmospheric pressure

Azores High

The Azores High also known as North Atlantic (Subtropical) High/Anticyclone or the Bermuda-Azores High, is a large subtropical semi-permanent centre of high atmospheric pressure typically found south of the Azores in the Atlantic Ocean, at the Horse latitudes. Icelandic Low and Azores High are Atlantic Ocean and Regional climate effects.

Barents Sea

The Barents Sea (also; Barentshavet,; Barentsevo More) is a marginal sea of the Arctic Ocean, located off the northern coasts of Norway and Russia and divided between Norwegian and Russian territorial waters.

See Icelandic Low and Barents Sea

Cyclone

In meteorology, a cyclone is a large air mass that rotates around a strong center of low atmospheric pressure, counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere as viewed from above (opposite to an anticyclone). Icelandic Low and cyclone are types of cyclone.

Davis Strait

The Davis Strait is a southern arm of the Arctic Ocean that lies north of the Labrador Sea.

See Icelandic Low and Davis Strait

Greenland

Greenland (Kalaallit Nunaat,; Grønland) is a North American island autonomous territory of the Kingdom of Denmark.

See Icelandic Low and Greenland

Iceland

Iceland (Ísland) is a Nordic island country between the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans, on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge between North America and Europe.

See Icelandic Low and Iceland

Kona storm

Kona storms (also called Kona lows) are a type of seasonal cyclone in the Hawaiian Islands, usually formed in the winter from winds coming from the westerly "kona" (normally leeward) direction. Icelandic Low and Kona storm are types of cyclone.

See Icelandic Low and Kona storm

Labrador

Labrador is a geographic and cultural region within the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador.

See Icelandic Low and Labrador

North Atlantic oscillation

The North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) is a weather phenomenon over the North Atlantic Ocean of fluctuations in the difference of atmospheric pressure at sea level (SLP) between the Icelandic Low and the Azores High. Icelandic Low and North Atlantic oscillation are Atlantic Ocean and Regional climate effects.

See Icelandic Low and North Atlantic oscillation

Northern Hemisphere

The Northern Hemisphere is the half of Earth that is north of the Equator.

See Icelandic Low and Northern Hemisphere
