unusually warm surface temperatures, yet Arctic sea ice did not shrink as some would intuitively expect it to do.
During El Niño,
the unusually warm surface temperatures in the eastern Pacific lead to changes in atmospheric circulation, causing unusually wetter winters in the southwestern United States and thus wider tree rings (representing more growth of the tree).
Red outlines indicate hot spots where MODIS detected
the unusually warm surface temperatures associated with fires.

unusually warm — brought their numbers down to less than 500 birds.
In late 2010 and early 2011, the continent Down Under received about twice its normal complement of rain, thanks in large part to
unusually warm sea -

warm humid air with the weather patterns that steered the moisture over the continent where it condensed and fell as precipitation.
However, extreme events may require the combined effect of increased prevailing winds and tropical storms guided by the strengthened blocking high pressure and nurtured by the
unusually warm late - Eemian tropical sea
surface temperatures (Cortijo et al., 1999), which would favor more powerful tropical storms (Emanuel, 1987).

Causality is always tricky to assign in cases such as this one, since it's entirely possible that the ridging itself has led to
warm surface water though decreased oceanic mixing by wind and
unusually high air temperatures.
What happened here appears on the
surface at least to have been a willful manipulation of data in a scientific report by an editor of a venerable scientific publication in order to sell a questionable preconceived notion (i.e. that it is
unusually warm today in at least the past 1300 years or so — or even the past 10,000 years).

surfaces on Earth experienced
unusually warm temperatures in February 2016.

«Take
unusually warm Atlantic ocean
surface temperatures (temperatures are in the 70s off the coast of Virginia), add a cold Arctic outbreak (something we'll continue to get even as global
warming proceeds), mix them together and you get huge amounts of energy and moisture, and monster snowfalls, like we're about to see here,» said Michael Mann, a climate researcher who directs Penn State University's earth systems science center.
