TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a high-level overview of land-based meteorological data and their management and curation, based upon broad community input, and provide a set of data holdings, of known provenance, that is integrated both across essential climate variables and across time scales to meet the broad range of stakeholder needs.

TL;DR: In this paper, a 1400 year climate model calculation was used to simulate the observed pattern and amplitude of the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) and showed that AMO is a genuine quasi-periodic cycle of internal climate variability persisting for many centuries, and is related to variability in the oceanic thermohaline circulation (THC).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present initial results of a new pan-European and international storminess since 1800 as interpreted from European and North Atlantic barometric pressure variability (SENABAR) project, which is shown that dp(abs)24 is significantly related to wind speed and is therefore a good measure of Atlantic and Northwest European storminess and climatic variations.

TL;DR: In the early nineteenth century, the English East India Company (EEIC) archives were used by the British Library to store 900 log-books of EEIC ships containing daily instrumental measurements of temperature and pressure, and subjective estimates of wind speed and direction, from voyages across the Atlantic and Indian Oceans between 1789 and 1834 as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the tropical standing mode of ENSO was extended into the extratropics by regressing the Nino-3 sea surface temperature index against sea level pressure (SLP) anomalies over the globe, finding the Pacific-South America (PSA) pattern in SLP anomaly straddling Drake Passage in the Southern Ocean.
