The annual minimum Antarctic sea ice extent (SIE) in February 2022 hits a record low in the
satellite era, with less than 2 million square kilometres observed on 25 February 2022 …

Abstract Zonal Wave 3 (ZW3) is an important feature of the Southern Hemisphere
extratropical atmospheric circulation and has strong impacts on meridional heat and …

Surface winds around the Antarctic continent control coupled ocean‐ice processes that
influence the climate system, including bottom water production, heat transport onto the …

We analyze the seasonal evolution and trends of atmospheric blocking from 1979 to 2018
using a geopotential-height-based method over two domains, one located to the west (150° …

Abstract The Maritime Continent (MC) is regarded as an important heat source region and
the impact of MC heating on the West Antarctic climate which is largely controlled by the …

Abstract In the Southern Hemisphere, variability of the stratospheric polar vortex is an
important driver of surface climate. In this study, we explore the influence of weakening and …

The global impact of the tropical Indian Ocean and the Western Pacific (IOWP) is expected to
increase in the future because this area has been continuously warming due to global …

Abstract Based on the Empirical Orthogonal Functions decomposition of the Sea level
pressure (SLP) anomalies over the southern extratropic, the second pattern is defined as a …

Subtropical western boundary currents (WBCs) are often associated with hotspots of global
warming, with certain WBC extension regions warming 3–4 times faster than the global …

Extratropical cyclones play an important role in shaping the weather and climate over vast
regions across the globe. To effectively understand and manage the impact of these …
