alone — last month, extremely warm North Pole temperatures
corresponded with extremely cold temperatures over Siberia. This

It is all looking rather consistent with an outlook that has
been dubbed "Warm Arctic, Cold Continents" — a notion that
remains scientifically contentious but, if accurate, is deeply
consequential for how climate change could unfold in the
Northern Hemisphere winter.<b>..</b><br>
... the result can be a kind of swapping of the cold air masses
of the Arctic with the warm air masses to the south of them. The
Arctic then gets hot (relatively), and the mid-latitudes —
including sometimes, as during the infamous "polar vortex" event
of 2013-2014, the United States — get cold.<br>

Arctic, Cold Continents: A Common Pattern Related to Arctic Sea
Ice Melt, Snow Advance, and Extreme Winter Weather (2012 paper)</b></a><br>
<blockquote> <font size="-1">ARTICLE ABSTRACT</font><br>
<font size="-1"> Arctic sea ice was observed to be at a new record
minimum in September 2012. Following this summer minimum,
northern Eurasia and much of North America experienced severe
winter weather during the winter of 2012/2013. A statistical
model that used Eurasian snow cover as its main predictor
successfully forecast the observed cold winter temperatures. We
propose that the large melting of Arctic sea ice may be related
to the rapid advance of snow cover, similar to the connection
made in studies of past climates between low Arctic sea ice and
enhanced continental snowfalls and glacial inception via ice
sheet growth. Regressions between autumnal sea ice extent and
Eurasian snow cover extent and Northern Hemisphere temperatures
yield the characteristic "warm Arctic/cold continents" pattern.
This pattern was observed during winter 2012/2013, and it is
common among years with observed low autumn sea ice, rapid
autumn snow cover advance, and a negative winter Arctic
Oscillation. Dynamical models fail to capture this pattern,
instead showing maximum warming over the Arctic Ocean and
widespread winter warming over the adjacent continents. We
suggest that the simulated widespread warming may be due to
incorrect sea ice-atmosphere coupling, including an incorrect
triggering of positive feedback between low sea ice and
atmospheric convection, resulting in significant model errors
that are evident in seasonal predictions and that potentially
impact future climate change projections.</font><br>
