Recent Extreme Arctic Temperatures are due to a Split Polar Vortex
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: here were extensive regions of Arctic temperature extremes in January and February 2016 that continued into April. For January, the Arctic-wide averaged temperature anomaly was 2.0°C above the previous record of 3.0°C based ...
Increased Variability in the Early Winter Subarctic North American Atmospheric Circulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he last decade shows increased variability in the Arctic Oscillation (AO) index for December. Over eastern North America such increased variability depended on amplification of the climatological longwave atmospheric ...
Diminishing Arctic Sea Ice Promotes Stronger Surface Winds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractProjections of Arctic sea ice through the end of the twenty-first century indicate the likelihood of a strong reduction in ice area and thickness in all seasons, leading to a substantial thermodynamic influence on ...
Recent Temperature Changes in the Western Arctic during Spring
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The lower troposphere of the western Arctic (eastern Siberia to northern Canada) was relatively warm during spring in the 1990s. Based on the NCEP?NCAR reanalysis, supplemented by the Television Infrared Observational ...
Seasonal and Regional Variation of Pan-Arctic Surface Air Temperature over the Instrumental Record
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Instrumental surface air temperature (SAT) records beginning in the late 1800s from 59 Arctic stations north of 64°N show monthly mean anomalies of several degrees and large spatial teleconnectivity, yet there are systematic ...
Impact of Model Physics on Seasonal Forecasts of Surface Air Temperature in the Arctic
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he impacts of model physics and initial sea ice thickness on seasonal forecasts of surface energy budget and air temperature in the Arctic during summer were investigated based on Climate Forecast System, version 2 (CFSv2), ...
Intrinsic versus Forced Variation in Coupled Climate Model Simulations over the Arctic during the Twentieth Century
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: There were two major multiyear, Arctic-wide (60°?90°N) warm anomalies (>0.7°C) in land surface air temperature (LSAT) during the twentieth century, between 1920 and 1950 and again at the end of the century after 1979. ...
Considerations in the Selection of Global Climate Models for Regional Climate Projections: The Arctic as a Case Study
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Climate projections at regional scales are in increased demand from management agencies and other stakeholders. While global atmosphere?ocean climate models provide credible quantitative estimates of future climate at ...
