Population health effects and health-related costs of extreme temperatures: Comprehensive evidence from Germany (2018, background): “Moretti and Neidell (2011) estimate that the annual costs of hospital admissions due to respiratory diseases accumulate to $44 million per year for Los Angeles.”
Persistent Extratropical Regimes and Climate Extremes (2015, background): “In the other direction, a distinct regional influence has also been suggested of Barents-Kara sea ice on Eurasian winter blocking [69–71].”
Responses of midlatitude blocks and wave amplitude to changes in the meridional temperature gradient in an idealized dry GCM (2014, background): “Francis and Vavrus [2012] and Liu et al. [2012] (FVL12) have recently suggested that reduced ΔT changes the midlatitude atmospheric circulation by slowing down the zonal winds and increasing the north-south meandering (i.e., wave amplitude and waviness) of the jet stream, resulting in slower…”

The physics of climate variability and climate change (2019, background): “Francis and Vavrus (2012) and Liu et al. (2012) have suggested that reduced ∆T slows down the prevailing westerlies and increases the north–south meandering of the subtropical jet stream, resulting in more frequent blocking events.”
Cold winter extremes in northern continents linked to Arctic sea ice loss (2013, background): “Blocking-high events are defined as intervals in which daily 500 hPa height from the reanalysis exceeds 1 standard deviation above the winter mean for each grid cell over five consecutive days (Thompson and Wallace 2001, Liu et al 2012).”
Influence of the Gulf Stream on the Barents Sea ice retreat and Eurasian coldness during early winter (2014, background): “Several hypotheses related to the warm Arctic / cold continent pattern have been summarized by Vihma (2014) (e.g., effects of the stratosphere; Jaiser et al 2013, snow cover; Cohen et al 2012, Orsolini et al 2013, changes of atmospheric circulation; Zhang et al 2012, Liu et al 2012).”
The Polar Amplification Model Intercomparison Project (PAMIP) contribution to CMIP6: investigating the causes and consequences of polar amplification (2018, positive): “Arctic warming has also been proposed as a cause of decadal cooling trends over Eurasia (Liu et al., 2012; Mori et al., 2014; Kretschmer et al., 2017), in what has been referred to as the warm Arctic– cold continents pattern (Overland et al.”
Extreme moisture transport into the Arctic linked to Rossby wave breaking (2014, background): “The changes in Arctic precipitation can modify the snowfall onto the nearby continents and ice sheets [Singarayer et al., 2006; Liu et al., 2012], and freshen the sea water.”
Influence of Arctic sea ice on European summer precipitation (2013, background): “Several studies have suggested that autumn–winter Arctic sea ice anomalies impact winter climate over northern continents (Overland et al 2011, Liu et al 2012, Tang et al 2013).”
