The researchers identified several key circulation patterns that affected the winter temperatures from 1979 to 2013, particularly the Arctic Oscillation (a climate pattern that circulates around the Arctic Ocean and tends to confine colder air to the polar latitudes) and a second pattern they call Warm Arctic and Cold Eurasia (WACE), which they found correlates to sea ice loss as well as to particularly strong winters.

Mori et al. identified two circulation patterns that drove winter temperatures in Eurasia from 1979 to 2013: the Arctic Oscillation (which confines colder air to the polar latitudes) and a pattern dubbed «Warm Arctic and Cold Eurasia» (WACE), which correlated both to sea - ice loss in the Barents - Kara Sea and to particularly cold winters; its impact has more than doubled the probability of severe winters in central Eurasia.

My thought is that the UK's temperate climate is primarily due to SWly prevailing winds blowing from the relatively warm ocean, as opposed to places on the eastern side of a large continent which will frequently receive cold polar continental airmasses in winter, because the mid-latitude westerlies will be blowing from a cold continental interior.

Decades of weather reports show a strong link between the polar blasts that have plunged the eastern United States in a deep freeze several times in the past few winters and the warming of the Arctic, where temperatures have been hitting unusual highs, a new study reports.

«We're saying they're connected, and certainly the fact that this warming of the Arctic is taking place up in the stratosphere, and that warming over the polar region is related to the increase in severe winter weather,» he said.

When the polar vortex warms, the jet stream is pushed south leading to colder winters across the eastern United states and Europe.

With the exception of glaciers that terminate in the ocean, and glaciers in the polar regions or at extreme high altitudes where the temperature is always below freezing, essentially just two things determine whether a glacier is advancing or retreating: how much snow falls in the winter, and how warm it is during the summer.

Firstly, models do indeed predict polar amplification (particularly in the Arctic and particularly in winter) of global warming trends (see our previous piece on this concept) in general.

It explains why we see polar amplification, more warming in fall, winter and early spring than Summer, etc..

The strength of the Icelandic Low is the critical factor in determining path of the polar jet stream over the North Atlantic In the winter the IL is located at SW of Greenland (driver Subpolar Gyre), but in the summer the IL is to be found much further north (most likely driver the North Icelandic Jet, formed by complex physical interactions between warm and cold currents), which as graphs show had no major ups or downs.

The strength of the Icelandic Low is the critical factor in determining path of the polar jet stream over the North Atlantic In the winter the IL is located at SW of Greenland (Subpolar Gyre) In summer the IL is to be found much further north (most likely the North Icelandic Jet, formed by complex physical interactions between warm and cold currents) These two run under two different regimes and two clocks (see the CET synthesis from 3 harmonics, one for each summer and winter, and one common — see the above link, bottom graph).

Currently we have mixed signals including a very warm N.Pacific, fizzling El Nino, record polar ice, solar activity heading for the basement, and Canada bracing for another polar vortex winter.

This becomes silly because, evidently, the warmer deep ocean water is not too cold to provide warming in a polar winter, an environment that doesn't just cool water down, it freezes it solid.

The latter marks the changeover from the cold winter polar cyclone to the warm summer polar anticyclone.

For the Upper Plains, Midwest and Great Lakes regions, the polar jet stays locked in Canada, allowing warmer - than - normal temperatures to persist for much of the winter.

Hang on... we've been told for years by apparent top climate scientists to expect less snowfalls, climate models predict warmer winters, ex-politicians claiming ice - free polar caps, hand - wringing news articles of children who would never experience snowfalls, on and on... but now we're expected to believe exactly the opposite because that's what's happening now.
