Inferring causation from time series in Earth system sciences (2019, background): “…pathways of the stratospheric Polar vortex that were extracted from observational data alone: here causal inference methods have con ﬁ rmed previous model simulation studies, ﬁ nding that Arctic sea ice extent in autumn is an important driver of winter circulation in the mid-latitudes 28 .”
Evolution of the Global Coupled Climate Response to Arctic Sea Ice Loss during 1990–2090 and Its Contribution to Climate Change (2018, background): “…response to late-twenty-first-century Arctic sea ice loss has been found to be robust across models (Screen et al. 2018), the response to present-day sea ice loss differs between modeling studies (e.g., Mori et al. 2014; Kim et al. 2014; Perlwitz et al. 2015; McCusker et al. 2016; Sun et al. 2016).”
Persistent Extratropical Regimes and Climate Extremes (2015, background): “Several studies have suggested Rossby wave propagation as the mechanism by which the Arctic change influences Eurasia, although a stratospheric pathway is also possible via changes in upwards propagating wave activity and subsequent descending Northern Annular Mode anomalies [75, 76].”
Changing state of Arctic sea ice across all seasons (2018, background): “Perturbation of the pressure over Siberia leads to a weakening of the stratospheric polar vortex through tropospheric-stratospheric coupling, providing a clear link between sea ice changes and winter cooling over Eurasia (e.g. Kim et al 2014, Kretschmer et al 2016, 2018).”
The stratospheric pathway for Arctic impacts on midlatitude climate (2016, background): “…cover in the Arctic, the wintertime AO tends to be in its negative phase, which brings severe winter weather to Eurasia and the North Atlantic sector [Francis and Vavrus, 2012; Barnes, 2013; Cohen et al., 2014; Screen and Simmonds, 2014; Kim et al., 2014; Nakamura et al., 2015; Sun et al., 2015].”
