Sea surface temperature variability in the Arctic Ocean and its marginal seas in a changing climate: patterns and mechanisms
Understanding temporal variability of sea surface temperature (SST) patterns plays a crucial role in providing insights into the mechanisms causing extreme weather and climate events as well as oceanic and atmospheric teleconnections. This study presents an in-depth analysis of the SST patterns of t...

Understanding temporal variability of sea surface temperature (SST) patterns plays a crucial role in providing insights into the mechanisms causing extreme weather and climate events as well as oceanic and atmospheric teleconnections. This study presents an in-depth analysis of the SST patterns of the Arctic Ocean and its marginal seas on interannual and seasonal timescales from 1982 to 2018. The results reveal potential relationships between SST and climatic variables in order to improve our understanding of underlying physical mechanisms influencing the SST variations in a changing climate. Our findings disclose that the Arctic Ocean shows an overall warming trend, and the Nordic Seas have the highest SST compared to its neighboring seas. The Barents Sea shows spatially varying seasonal trends due to ice cover changes and warm water circulation within the Nordic Seas. Correlation analysis was also performed to facilitate further understanding of climate-induced SST changes.
