   dcterms:description "The North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) index is often defined as the\ndifference of sea-level pressure between 2 stations situated close to\nthe \"centres of action\" over Iceland and the Azores. Stykkisholmur\n(Iceland) is invariably used as the northern station, whereas either;\nPonta Delgada (Azores) Lisbon (Portugal) Gibraltar are used as the\nsouthern station.\nStrong positive phases of the NAO tend to be associated with\nabove-normal temperatures in the eastern United States and across\nnorthern Europe and below-normal temperatures in Greenland and\noftentimes across southern Europe and the Middle East. They are also\nassociated with above-normal precipitation over northern Europe and\nScandinavia and below-normal precipitation over southern and central\nEurope. Opposite patterns of temperature and precipitation anomalies\nare typically observed during strong negative phases of the\nNAO. During particularly prolonged periods dominated by one particular\nphase of the NAO, abnormal height and temperature patterns are also\noften seen extending well into central Russia and north-central\nSiberia."^^xsd:string;
