Feedbacks between sea ice and baroclinic waves using a linear quasi‐geostrophic model
Abstract Both the high‐latitude atmospheric circulation and the oceanic sea‐ice cover exhibit significant synopticscale variability. Areas of open water within the ice cover, caused by divergence of the ice, may be generated by convergent, divergent or offshore wind fields. There is a large anomalou...
