Process drivers, inter-model spread, and the path forward: A review of amplified Arctic warming

PC Taylor, RC Boeke, LN Boisvert, N Feldl… - Frontiers in Earth …, 2022 - frontiersin.org
Arctic amplification (AA) is a coupled atmosphere-sea ice-ocean process. This
understanding has evolved from the early concept of AA, as a consequence of snow-ice line …

Minimal influence of reduced Arctic sea ice on coincident cold winters in mid-latitudes

R Blackport, JA Screen, K van der Wiel… - Nature climate …, 2019 - nature.com
Observations show that reduced regional sea-ice cover is coincident with cold mid-latitude
winters on interannual timescales. However, it remains unclear whether these observed …

Trends in the atmospheric jet streams are emerging in observations and could be linked to tropical warming

T Woollings, M Drouard, CH O'Reilly… - … Earth & Environment, 2023 - nature.com
Climate models predict a weak poleward shift of the jets in response to continuing climate
change. Here we revisit observed jet trends using 40 years of satellite-era reanalysis …

Polar amplification dominated by local forcing and feedbacks

MF Stuecker, CM Bitz, KC Armour… - Nature Climate …, 2018 - nature.com
The surface temperature response to greenhouse gas forcing displays a characteristic
pattern of polar-amplified warming,,,–, particularly in the Northern Hemisphere. However, the …

Trends and variability in polar sea ice, global atmospheric circulations, and baroclinicity

I Simmonds, M Li - Annals of the New York Academy of …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
We analyze the polar sea ice distribution and the global sea level pressure (SLP) and
baroclinicity distributions over the “satellite” period of 1979–2020. In the Arctic, there are …

Arctic sea-ice variability is primarily driven by atmospheric temperature fluctuations

D Olonscheck, T Mauritsen, D Notz - Nature Geoscience, 2019 - nature.com
The anthropogenically forced decline of Arctic sea ice is superimposed on strong internal
variability. Possible drivers for this variability include fluctuations in surface albedo, clouds …

Past perspectives on the present era of abrupt Arctic climate change

E Jansen, JH Christensen, T Dokken… - Nature Climate …, 2020 - nature.com
Abrupt climate change is a striking feature of many climate records, particularly the warming
events in Greenland ice cores. These abrupt and high-amplitude events were tightly coupled …

The role of Atlantic heat transport in future Arctic winter sea ice loss

M Årthun, T Eldevik, LH Smedsrud - Journal of Climate, 2019 - journals.ametsoc.org
During recent decades Arctic sea ice variability and retreat during winter have largely been
a result of variable ocean heat transport (OHT). Here we use the Community Earth System …

How do intermittency and simultaneous processes obfuscate the Arctic influence on midlatitude winter extreme weather events?

JE Overland, TJ Ballinger, J Cohen… - Environmental …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
Pronounced changes in the Arctic environment add a new potential driver of anomalous
