Summer atmospheric circulation anomalies over the Arctic Ocean and their influences on September sea ice extent: A cautionary tale.

«The authors write that North Pacific Decadal Variability (NPDV) «is a key component in predictability studies of both regional and global climate change,»... they emphasize that given the links between both the PDO and the NPGO with global climate, the accurate characterization and the degree of predictability of these two modes in coupled climate models is an important «open question in climate dynamics» that needs to be addressed... report that model - derived «temporal and spatial statistics of the North Pacific Ocean modes exhibit significant discrepancies from observations in their twentieth - century climate... conclude that «for implications on future climate change, the coupled climate models show no consensus on projected future changes in frequency of either the first or second leading pattern of North Pacific SST anomalies,» and they say that «the lack of a consensus in changes in either mode also affects confidence in projected changes in the overlying atmospheric circulation.»»

It is well established that large - scale modes of the extratropical SH atmospheric circulation have strong impacts on Antarctic sea ice (e.g. Yuan and Li 2008; Stammerjohn et al. 2008; Holland and Raphael 2006; Liu et al. 2004; Kwok and Comiso 2002; Yuan and Martinson 2000) and on continental temperature anomalies (e.g. Marshall 2007; van den Broeke and van Lipzig 2004; Schneider et al. 2004; Kwok and Comiso 2002; Turner 2004; Bromwich et al. 2004; Thompson and Solomon 2002).
