The use of atmospheric analogues to predict Alberta Clipper storm trajectories in a changing global climate

In this study, atmospheric analogues defined by global temperature and El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) characteristics are used to compare the trajectories of past Alberta Clipper storms to hypothesize how these could change with global warming. The results indicate that, although the trajectory azimuths from t = 0 to t = 60 are similar between the analogues, starting latitude and longitude results show that, on average, Warm analogue storms form further to the north and east than La Niña analogue Clippers.
