Effects of Barents–Kara Seas ice and North Atlantic tripole patterns on Siberian cold anomalies
Possible physical routes are presented that link the decline in sea-ice concentration (SIC) in the Barents–Kara Seas (BKS), the sea surface temperature anomaly in the pattern of the North Atlantic tripole (NAT), and the Siberian cold anomaly in boreal winter, via mid–high-latitude circulation anomal...
