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 …

A cyclone-centered perspective on the drivers of asymmetric patterns in the atmosphere and sea ice during Arctic cyclones

R Clancy, CM Bitz… - Journal of …, 2022 - journals.ametsoc.org
Arctic cyclones are an extremely common, year-round phenomenon, with substantial
influence on sea ice. However, few studies address the heterogeneity in the spatial patterns …

Cyclone impacts on sea ice concentration in the Atlantic Arctic ocean: Annual cycle and recent changes

L Aue, A Rinke - Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
We quantify sea ice concentration (SIC) changes related to synoptic cyclones separately for
each month of the year in the Greenland, Barents and Kara Seas for 1979–2018. We find …

Accelerated sea ice loss from late summer cyclones in the new Arctic

PM Finocchio, JD Doyle, DP Stern - Journal of Climate, 2022 - journals.ametsoc.org
Synoptic-scale cyclones in the Arctic are an important source of short-term sea ice variability
during the melt season. This study examines whether recent changes to the Arctic …

Thermodynamical and dynamical impacts of an intense cyclone on arctic sea ice

Z Tian, X Liang, J Zhang, H Bi… - Journal of Geophysical …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
This study investigates the thermodynamical and dynamical influences of the intense
cyclone in the Arctic Ocean in August 2012 on the synoptic‐scale sea ice evolution, using …

Revisiting trans-Arctic maritime navigability in 2011–2016 from the perspective of sea ice thickness

X Zhou, C Min, Y Yang, JC Landy, L Mu, Q Yang - Remote Sensing, 2021 - mdpi.com
Arctic navigation has become operational in recent decades with the decline in summer sea
ice. To assess the navigability of trans-Arctic passages, combined model and satellite sea …

Short‐term impacts of Arctic summer cyclones on sea ice extent in the marginal ice zone

PM Finocchio, JD Doyle, DP Stern… - Geophysical Research …, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
The degree to which Arctic cyclones locally affect sea ice cover during the melt season is
unclear. To address this, we use the ERA‐5 reanalysis to statistically analyze how surface …

Summer cyclones and their association with short-term sea ice variability in the Pacific sector of the Arctic

PM Finocchio, JD Doyle - Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021 - frontiersin.org
We investigate the effects of summer cyclones on sea ice within the Pacific sector of the
Arctic by analyzing the surface energy flux and wind forcing from a large sample of cyclones …

Examining the sensitivity of ECMWF IFS weatherforecasts to sea‐ice coupling for the summer‐time Arctic and cyclones

HL Croad, SPE Keeley, J Methven… - Quarterly Journal of …, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
In recent years there has been an advance towards coupled Earth‐system models for
weather forecasting. For example, the European Centre for Medium‐Range Weather …
