Slow Atmospheric Circulations Shape Storm Tracks and Wave-Breaking Patterns

Tracks of low-level cyclones during different weather regimes in the North Atlantic. Shown are the 500 hectopascal (hPa) Geopotential height anomalies (colors) and total winds (arrows), tracks of low-level weather systems (thin lines), and the jet-stream axis (red line) for the Atlantic Ridge regime.
