We develop a climatology of the Amundsen Sea low (ASL) covering the period 1979–2008
using ECMWF operational and reanalysis fields. The depth of the ASL is strongly influenced …

After 1979, statistically significant warming in Antarctica is only observed in austral spring
(September–November, SON) across West Antarctica and the Antarctic Peninsula. While …

Abstract Characteristics of the Arctic Ocean's Beaufort Sea high are examined using fields
from the NCEP–NCAR reanalysis. At a 2-hPa contour interval, the Beaufort Sea high …

The manuscript assesses the current and expected future global drivers of Southern Ocean
(SO) ecosystems. Atmospheric ozone depletion over the Antarctic since the 1970s, has been …

Recent studies have noted an asymmetrical climate change across Antarctica, with
significant warming in West Antarctica and the Antarctica Peninsula, and primarily …

Previous studies have shown strong contrasting trends in annual sea ice duration and in
monthly sea ice concentration in two regions of the Southern Ocean: decreases in the …

The seasonal modulation of the relationship between the sea-level pressure anomalies
(SLPAS) over the North Atlantic region (100 W–50 E; 20–70 N) and the sea surface …

We investigate the impact of the Southern Annular Mode (SAM) on surface wind, sea surface
temperature (SST), and surface chlorophyll concentration on intraseasonal to interannual …

The accurate estimation of Antarctic precipitation variability is an essential component in
understanding global sea level fluctuations; direct measurement techniques, however, are …

This paper reviews our understanding of how the effects of the El Nino–southern oscillation
(ENSO) might be transmitted from the tropical Pacific Ocean to the Antarctic, and examines …
