Possible Causes of Reduced LGM Atlantic Storminess I.) Narrow LGM jet inhibits storm growth Jet Speed Cross Sections LGM jet is narrow NOT Strong enough effect II.) High LGM Static stability inhibits storm growth Strong LGM Baroclinicity still predicts stronger storm Growth III.) LGM Storms are not seeded efficiently Magnitude Geopotential Height Perturbation (meters) Days Since Storm Entered Atlantic Domain LGM Modern
