Arctic winter formation has been largely hit by
advection from cyclones easily punching through what was once a mighty fortress of cold
air living
in a physical symbiosis with much thicker sea ice.
The troposphere is not everywhere at all times locally vertically coupled by convection;
in particular, at night and at high latitudes, especially
in winter, and where there is warm
air advection aloft, some layer of
air can become stable to localized convection.
The
air temperature patterns were a result of low pressure on the Eurasian side of the Arctic (Figure 8), along with high pressure
in the Bering Sea, which supported some warm
air advection into the Chukchi and East Siberian seas region.
In fact, if you look at my posting below you can actually see this «warm moist
air advection» from the Pacific taking place as we speak!
Synoptic conditions with the positive phase tend to consist of increased southerly flow and warm
air advection into Alaska during the winter, resulting
in positive temperature anomalies.

The same can be observed around some Andean glaciers and of course the Antarctic peninsula: renewed
advection of warmer
air displaced by colder HP polar
air masses descending to lower latitudes can melt certain regions yet it does not mean global warming, quite the opposite
in fact.
With regard to summer meteorological forcing, 2007 was dominated by a strong dipole pattern
in sea level pressure (SLP), with high pressure over the Beaufort Sea and winds blowing from the Bering Strait across the North Pole, promoting both
advection of warm
air and compaction of the ice pack.
Richard, as I pointed out elsewhere
in this thread, the ozone hole facilitates cooling
in the southern polar region while the circumpolar vortex block warm
air advection from the north.
Likewise, the cooling
in the South Pacific Sector over the Ross Sea Ice edge and to the north of it (Fig. 3) corresponds with the northern side of the negative geopotential height trend evident
in NCEP2 that implies anomalous equatorward
advection of cold
air.
With upcoming warm

June was warmer than average more widely over the Arctic Ocean (Figure 4b); the month saw a weather pattern similar to the Arctic Dipole,
in which higher than average pressure over the American side of the Arctic drives warm
air advection from the Pacific (Figure 4c).
-- It seems perfectly reasonable to me that if we imagine the surface never emits that energy
in the first place, - energy that is stored
in the surface and just below, i.e. oceans, lakes, rivers, ground, and
air, — just to mention a few, then any surface temperature change would be completely reliant on variations
in Solar irradiation and
advection mainly by Water Vapor (WV) but also by other GHGs that have the ability to contain more heat than the rest of the atmospheric gases.

back to the horizontal gradient, if the upper tropospheric thermal wind shear increase is greater than the decrease of the lower layer, then maybe the overall baroclinic instability would be stronger — but currently the upper level eddy circulations do not transport much heat poleward, so would the structure of cyclones change so that a deeper layer of
air is involved
in the thermal
advection, compensating for a weaker temperature gradient?
The
advection of warmer
air and warmer water plays a big role
in Earth's climate.
In the Arctic we benifit from warm
air advection every day of the year.
You can freeze
in the Sahara when it is winter time & you have cold
air advection blowing
in colder
air (and some snow for effect); --RRB-
In August, higher pressure rebuilt in the Beaufort Sea together with low SLP over Siberia, helping to compact the ice towards the pole and leading to advection of warm, southerly air into the Arcti
