Default High pressure in the Atlantic

Today's Met Office FAX chart (1200) shows a High south of Newfoundland with central pressure 1051 mb. Does anyone know if this is a record for an Atlantic High or if not, what the record is? It's certainly the highest I have seen.

I thought meteorologically speaking, Greenland was ringfenced, and
anything appearing in synoptics should/could? be ignored as it is
usually just an artefact of "correcting" one set of readings on the
central highland , to MLSP.
The MetO model output of 24 Nov 2015 (00+144) and 2 other models of that
period showed 930mB just off Greenland, wow. It vanished just like
Scotch mist in later outputs, presumably as it was just this Greenland
artefact that got into the models.

I misread Newfoundland as Greenland.

Understandable, they're a lot alike - both ending in "land". ;-)

Much easier to mistake Newfoundland for New Zealand, though.

Because of the penguins you mean?

Quite and both above sea level too. They even sound fresh. If that counts. Both sound fishy though. And cold. I doubt they both have penguins do they?
Or zebras?

I don't believe zebras eat penguins.

Yes the MSLP correction over Greenland means that milder air gives low
pressure and cold air gives high pressure.

This is one of the anamalous projections
http://www.meteociel.fr/modeles/gfse...2015&archive=1
All I get off wetter3.de archive is very dodgey looking junk , but the
MetO 00+144 run for 30 Nov was central pressure 930mB close to
Greenland, but I do have a saved copy of that fax image

I hope the strange looking projected short-term looping of the UK by
peak 200mph jetstream , about midnight tonight 27/28, does not mean
anything nasty for surface winds
