  • Phytoplankton responses to increasing Arctic river discharge under the present and future climate simulations

    Open AccessJung Hyun Park, Seong‐Joong Kim et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2023

    In recent decades, the unprecedented rate of Arctic warming has accelerated the high-latitude landmass hydrological cycle, leading to increased river discharge into the Arctic Ocean. This study elucidates the role of Arctic river discharge, which was the large model uncertainty in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project 6, for the phytoplankton responses in present-day and future climate simulations by adding fresh water into the model. In the …

  • How do intermittency and simultaneous processes obfuscate the Arctic influence on midlatitude winter extreme weather events

    Open AccessJames E Overland, Thomas J Ballinger et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2021

    Pronounced changes in the Arctic environment add a new potential driver of anomalous weather patterns in midlatitudes that affect billions of people. Recent studies of these Arctic/midlatitude weather linkages, however, state inconsistent conclusions. A source of uncertainty arises from the chaotic nature of the atmosphere. Thermodynamic forcing by a rapidly warming Arctic contributes to weather events through changing surface heat fluxes and lar…

  • Recent weakening of the southern stratospheric polar vortex and its impact on the surface climate over Antarctica

    Open AccessHataek Kwon, Hyesun Choi et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2020

    The variability in the southern stratospheric polar vortex (SSPV) and its downward coupling with the troposphere are known to play a crucial role in driving climate variability over Antarctica.In this study, SSPV weakening events and their impacts on the surface climate of Antarctica are examined using in-situ observation and reanalysis data.Combining criteria from several previous studies, we introduce a new detection method for SSPV weakening e…

  • How does the SST variability over the western North Atlantic Ocean control Arctic warming over the Barents–Kara Seas

    Open AccessJung Ok, Ok Jung et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2017

    Arctic warming over the BarentsKara Seas and its impacts on the mid-latitude circulations have been widely discussed. However, the specific mechanism that brings the warming still remains unclear. In this study, a possible cause of the regional Arctic warming over the BarentsKara Seas during early winter (OctoberDecember) is suggested. We found that warmer sea surface temperature anomalies over the western North Atlantic Ocean (WNAO) modulate the…

  • Arctic-North Pacific coupled impacts on the late autumn cold in North America

    Open AccessMi‐Kyung Sung, Mi-Kyung Sung et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2016

    The Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) is known to bring an anomalously cold (warm) period to southeastern (northwestern) North America during the cold season of its positive phase through a Rossby wave linkage. This study provides evidence that the remote connection between the North Pacific and the downstream temperature over central North America is strengthened by the warm arctic conditions over the Chukchi and East Siberian Sea, especially in…
