Description
Summary:Funding This research was funded by Texas State University through the Doctoral Research Support Fellowship. Support for T.J.B. was provided by the University of Alaska Fairbanks Experimental Arctic Prediction Initiative. Data Availability Statement The monthly CPC teleconnections (NAO, EA, SCA) are available at the CPC website. The NAO (Cropper daily version) can be obtained from Thomas Cropper, the NAO (Hurrell version) from Climate Data Guide, and the daily GBI [53] from NOAA. The AMO monthly data is also available at NOAA. Acknowledgments Weather data were purchased from MeteoSwiss and delivered by Gergely Rigo. We thank Huss for sharing annual and seasonal mass balance datasets, and Klimeš for revising the earlier manuscript draft. Peer reviewed
