Traffic Bottlenecks: Predicting Atmospheric Blocking with a Diminishing Flow Capacity

Published in Geophysical Research Letters, 2024

Using NH18 to define LWA flux exceedance events, this paper explores predictors of blocking onset in the traffic jam theory. A downstream reduction in flow capacity is common for both exceedance and blocking events, similar to how lane closures favor traffic jams. Blocks are co-located with exceedance events in space but not in time, limiting the predictive utility of the traffic jam theory.
