Abstract

The Arctic is warming two to four times faster than the global average and the Arctic sea ice has undergone a substantial long-term decline with superimposed interannual sea ice minimum (SIM) events over the past decade. Eurasian and tropical climatic events frequently occur with severe drought/flood and cold/warm episodes. What are the relationships among anomalous activities of those general circulations and regional surface climatic anomalies? This chapter will reveal their relationships. First, the seasonal, interannual, and interdecadal variabilities of the Arctic and Polar cell strengths are used to explore their connections with the long-term trends and interannual events of Arctic sea ice as well as precipitation and surface air temperature (SAT) in the Northern Hemisphere (NH). Then, regional and persistent anomalous events are also paid particular attention associated with geopotential anomalies of the troposphere and even the stratosphere. As two examples, the anomalous activities of the South Asian High (SAH), the largest circulation system in the boreal summer over upper troposphere, and the western Pacific subtropical high, are investigated using anomaly-based approach.
