Previously, the atmospheric moisture budgets over the Arctic Basin as represented by reanalysis data from the National Centers for Environmental Prediction–National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCEP–NCAR) reanalysis and from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts reanalysis were evaluated for the overlap period of 1979–93 and found to be very similar to each other and to the available observations. Here emphasis is on the 50 yr of the NCEP–NCAR reanalysis (January 1949–May 1999) to depict the interannual variability of the atmospheric moisture fluxes across 708N and their convergence farther north. Precipitation minus evaporation (P 2 E) calculated from moisture flux convergence is compared with three large-scale circulation patterns that strongly affect the interannual variability of P 2 E over the Arctic and its environs: the North Atlantic oscillation (NAO), the Arctic oscillation (AO), and the North Pacific oscillation (NPO).
