Arctic amplification (AA)—referring to the enhancement of near-surface air temperature
change over the Arctic relative to lower latitudes—is a prominent feature of climate change …

Arctic amplification (AA) is a coupled atmosphere-sea ice-ocean process. This
understanding has evolved from the early concept of AA, as a consequence of snow-ice line …

Water vapor is a greenhouse gas that dominates Earth's terrestrial radiation absorption. As
the planetary temperature warms, forced by increasing CO 2 and other greenhouse gases …

The drivers of polar amplification are investigated by isolating the role of sea‐ice processes,
moist energy transport, and the seasonal cycle of insolation in two models, an energy …

Diffusive energy balance models (EBMs) that use moist static energy, rather than
temperature, as the thermodynamic variable to determine the energy transport provide an …

A fundamental divide exists between previous studies that conclude that polar amplification
does not occur without sea ice and studies that find that polar amplification is an inherent …

Slab-ocean aquaplanet simulations with thermodynamic sea ice are used to study the
zonally symmetric mechanisms whereby polar sea ice loss impacts the midlatitude …

Whether sea‐ice loss or lapse‐rate feedback dominates the Arctic amplification (AA)
remains an open question. Analysis of data sets based upon observations reveals a 1.11 K …

This study examines the effects of the vertical structure of polar warming on the remote
atmospheric circulation. We apply thermal forcing at different vertical levels in the Northern …

Significant progress has been made in our understanding of extratropical impacts on the
tropical climate via energetics framework. It is of question whether the impact of extratropical …
