Such strategies include...
...that view of the stratosphere is changing. Among other things, scientists studying the AO have connected sudden warmings of the stratosphere to outbreaks of wintry weather in Europe and the U.S. Somehow, scientists think, these spikes in stratospheric temperatures weaken the winds that swirl around the Arctic, thereby allowing frigid air to spill out of polar regions and envelop cities like Boston and New York, Berlin and Paris in teeth-chattering cold. Conversely, when stratospheric temperatures cool, strong winds at the surface discourage cold air from dipping so far south. Already, the AO's clear connection to the stratosphere...
...would be to pursue the possibility of putting Harvard’s video library online as well. The ability to access streaming video at any hour of the day would be much appreciated by the entire student body—particularly throughout Cambridge’s long months of frigid weather...

There are other plusses as well—in lieu of the riverside’s knee-savaging, garbage-ridden paths, Gordon has a newly re-surfaced, knee-friendly spring track...
