Evolution of the Global Coupled Climate Response to Arctic Sea Ice Loss during 1990–2090 and Its Contribution to Climate Change (2018, background): “Within the Arctic, nearsurface air temperature risesmuch faster than in the lower latitudes (Screen and Simmonds 2010).”
Changing state of Arctic sea ice across all seasons (2018, background): “…had profound impacts on the energy balance of the Arctic and has contributed to Arctic amplification, i.e. the faster warming in the Arctic compared to midlatitudes, particularly during autumn and winter (e.g., Serreze et al 2009, Screen and Simmonds 2010, Pithan and Mauritsen 2014, Walsh 2014).”
The Polar Amplification Model Intercomparison Project (PAMIP) contribution to CMIP6: investigating the causes and consequences of polar amplification (2018, neutral): “2) suggest that Arctic amplification is already occurring: recent temperature trends in the Arctic are about twice the global average (Serreze et al., 2009; Screen and Simmonds, 2010; Cowtan and Way, 2013), and Arctic sea ice extent has declined at an average rate of around 4 % decade−1 annually and”
Cold winter extremes in northern continents linked to Arctic sea ice loss (2013, background): “Surface air temperature in the Arctic has increased in recent decades, accompanied by a rapid decrease in sea ice extent (SIE) (e.g., Screen and Simmonds 2010).”
A Review of the Role of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation in Atlantic Multidecadal Variability and Associated Climate Impacts (2019, background): “Both observational and modeling studies suggest that the Arctic sea ice change is crucial for the anticorrelated Arctic surface air temperature change at multidecadal timescales (Bengtsson et al., 2004; Johannessen et al., 2004; Screen & Simmonds, 2010; Semenov & Latif, 2012; Serreze et al., 2009).”
Response of the large‐scale structure of the atmosphere to global warming (2015, background): “…familiar effect is usually attributed to an increase of surface albedo associated with a retreat of seaice and snow, amplified and extended by a low-level thermal inversion that reduces the loss of long-wave radiation to space (e.g. Winton, 2006; Screen and Simmonds, 2010; Bintanja et al., 2011).”
Migratory response of polar bears to sea ice loss: to swim or not to swim (2017, background): “However, environmental change in the Arctic is occurring more rapidly than anywhere else, possibly due to climatic feedbacks tied to sea ice loss (Holland et al. 2006, Screen and Simmonds 2010, Stroeve et al. 2011).”
Statistical Forecasting of Current and Future Circum‐Arctic Ground Temperatures and Active Layer Thickness (2018, background): “General circulation models predict global warming and associated Arctic amplification (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change [IPCC], 2013; Screen & Simmonds, 2010).”
Impact of declining Arctic sea ice on winter snowfall (2012, background): “The ERA-interim reanalysis also suggests that the largest specific humidity increase during 1989–2008 is in the Arctic region, and a large portion of this enhanced moisture flux is due to diminishing Arctic sea ice through surface latent heat flux (27).”
Forcing of the wintertime atmospheric circulation by the multidecadal fluctuations of the North Atlantic ocean (2014, background): “…the Arctic has warmed more rapidly than other regions of the globe due to several positive feedback mechanisms that amplify both the surface warming (a phenomenon referred to as the Arctic amplification (e.g. Screen and Simmonds 2010)) and the decline of sea ice extent (Stroeve et al 2012).”
