North Atlantic Winter Exposed

12/4/2010

Latest Comments

Dear Kieran 100, Thanks for the comment. I am fully aware that to make a proper comparison I would have to look at a lot more data from the past. In fact, to cover the long-term cycles in the North Atlantic Oscillation I would have to go back way before direct records began and use proxies such as tree rings or ice cores. Maybe I should have pointed that out more clearly in the article instead of simply inferring that my analysis was assuming that "last year was normal". However, don't forget, this is an article offered for a general surfing audience and is only meant for entertainment; it is not a peer-reviewed scientific journal paper.

	I thought your article was very very interesting. I was very intrigued by the swell window charts you showed for the south coast and Northern Spain. Are they available on-line or even in a book anywhere? I would certainly appreciate a reference please.
