Sea-level pressure data for Iceland Monthly Time-series
The NAO is one of the major modes of Northern Hemisphere atmospheric variability. The SLP index for the Iceland is used in its calculation.
Correlation January 20CRv3 SLP and the Iceland SLP timeseries over the Northern Hemisphere.

Description
-
The North Atlantic Oscillation is a mode of variabily in the northern hemisphere. The are different methods used to calculate it. CRU's method is the traditional one where The NAO is defined as the normalized pressure difference between a station on the Azores and one on Iceland. This is the Iceland time-series.
