On the relationship between Ural blocking and Arctic-midlatitude thermal gradient
In this study, the relationship between the interannual variability of Arctic-midlatitude thermal gradient (AMG) and the winter atmospheric blocking frequency in the Ural region (UBF) is investigated in the ERA5 reanalysis product from 1940 to 2023. In particular, the paper focuses on the large-scal...
