Icelandic low"1. The low pressure center located near Iceland (mainly between Iceland and southern Greenland) on mean charts of sea level pressure. It is a principal center of action in the atmospheric circulation of the Northern Hemisphere.
ICELANDIC LOW
A semi-permanent, subpolar area of low pressure in the North Atlantic Ocean. Because of its broad area and range of central pressure, it is an area where migratory lows tend to slow down and deepen.

Examples include the Icelandic Low and the Bermuda High in the North Atlantic. SEVERE WEATHER Generally, any destructive weather event, but usually applies to localized storms, such as blizzards, intense thunderstorms, or tornadoes.
NAO Index - This index measures the anomalies in sea level pressure between the Icelandic low pressure system and the Azores high pressure system.
North Atlantic oscillation A pressure oscillation between the Icelandic Low and the Azores High. It is one of three important oscillations identified by Sir Gilbert Walker in the 1920s.
In the Northern Hemispheric winter and early spring, when the Icelandic Low dominates the North Atlantic, it is primarily centered near the Azores Islands.
This is generally an area of semi-permanent low pressure that exists and where the Aleutian and Icelandic Lows may be found.
In the Northern Hemisphere, this "belt" consists of the Aleutian low in the North Pacific and the Icelandic low in the North Atlantic. In the Southern Hemisphere, it exists around the periphery of the Antarctic continent.
