Figure 2 Storm track activity [defined as the standard deviation (SD) of the 500 hPa height] averaged over northwestern Europe (6°W to 20°E, 40° to 70°N, a 4-year low pass filter has been applied), showing an increase of storm activity in a future climate. Storm track activity [defined as the standard deviation (SD) of the 500 hPa height] averaged over northwestern Europe (6°W to 20°E, 40° to 70°N, a 4-year low pass filter has been applied), showing an increase of storm activity in a future climate. The gray stippling indicates the variability of this index in the control run as measured by 1 SD. The nonlinear climate trend optimally obtained from a quadratic curve fitting is marked by the dashed line. The y axis is storm track activity in geopotential meters (gpm), and the x axis is calendar years (56). David R. Easterling et al.
