This report discusses our current understanding of the mechanisms that link declines
in Arctic sea ice cover, loss of high - latitude snow cover, changes
in Arctic - region energy fluxes, atmospheric circulation patterns, and the occurrence of extreme
weather events; possible implications of more severe loss of summer Arctic sea ice upon
weather patterns at lower latitudes; major gaps
in our understanding, and observational and / or modeling efforts that are needed to fill those gaps; and current opportunities and limitations for using Arctic sea ice predictions to assess the risk of temperature / precipitation
anomalies and extreme
weather events over northern continents.
The polar coverage of GISTEMP arises mainly from the fact that GISTEMP allows each
