Polar lows (PLs) are high-latitude intense maritime mesoscale weather systems that develop
over open water near the sea ice margin or near snow-covered continents during cold air …

The climatology of polar lows over the Nordic Seas has been investigated using infrared
satellite images for the period between 2000 and 2009. The same region was studied in the …

The spatial and temporal distributions of marine cold air outbreaks (MCAOs) over the
northern North Atlantic have been investigated using re-analysis data for the period from …

For many locations around the globe some of the most severe weather is associated with
outbreaks of cold air over relatively warm oceans, referred to here as marine cold-air …

A dynamical downscaling of the 6‐hourly 1948–2006 NCEP/NCAR re‐analyses for the
subarctic region of the North Atlantic has been used to derive a climatology of polar lows by …

Equatorward excursions of cold polar air masses into ice-free regions, so-called cold-air
outbreak (CAO) events, are frequently accompanied by the development of severe …

Polar lows are intense meso-α-scale cyclones that develop over the oceans poleward of the
main baroclinic zone. A number of previous studies have reported polar low formation over …

Polar lows (PLs) are small‐scale and intense low‐pressure systems that form at high
latitudes in both hemispheres. Due to their limited spatial scale and brief lifetimes, weather …

Polar mesoscale cyclones (PMCs) are automatically detected and tracked over the Nordic
seas using the Melbourne University algorithm applied to ERA-Interim. The novelty of this …

A new objective climatology of polar lows in the Nordic (Norwegian and Barents) seas has
been derived from a database of diagnostics of objectively identified cyclones spanning the …
