LAG CORRELATIONS BETWEEN ARCTIC ATMOSPHERIC HEAT LOSS AND NORTHERN HEMISPHERE CIRCULATION INDICES

A time series of 'atmospheric heat loss' parameters for the Arctic is calculated using 5 years of radiosonde and cloud data. Thirty-day deviations from the mean annual cycle of atmospheric heat loss are lag-correlated with corresponding anomalies of several indices of northern hemisphere c...

Description
Summary:A time series of 'atmospheric heat loss' parameters for the Arctic is calculated using 5 years of radiosonde and cloud data. Thirty-day deviations from the mean annual cycle of atmospheric heat loss are lag-correlated with corresponding anomalies of several indices of northern hemisphere circulation. Resulting correlation coefficients are small but statistically significant, interesting, and as yet, unexplained. (Author)
