The causes of wintertime precipitation decrease in the Southern Coast of Caspian Sea (SCCS) compared to its counterpart in autumn, is investigated with the use of synoptic stations daily dataset of SCCS and gridded NCEP/NCAR and NOAA dataset. The structure of atmospheric circulation and synoptic and physical conditions over the Caspian Sea region which are dominate in the winter and autumn prec...
متن کاملObserved anomalous atmospheric patterns in summers of unusual Arctic sea ice melt
The Arctic sea ice retreat has accelerated over the last decade. The negative trend is largest in summer, but substantial interannual variability still remains. Here we explore observed atmospheric conditions and feedback mechanisms during summer months of anomalous sea ice melt in the Arctic. Compositing months of anomalous low and high sea ice melt over 1979–2013, we find distinct patterns in...
متن کاملInterannual variability of air-sea O2 fluxes and the determination of CO2 sinks using atmospheric O2/N2
[1] Motivated by the use of atmospheric O2/N2 to determine CO2 sinks under the assumption of negligible interannual variability in air-sea O2 fluxes, we examine interannual fluctuations of the global air-sea flux of O2 during the period 1980 – 1998 using a global ocean circulation and biogeochemistry model along with an atmospheric transport model. It is found that both the El Niño/Southern Osc...
متن کاملAnnual sea-air CO2 fluxes in the Bering Sea: Insights from new autumn and winter observations of a seasonally ice-covered continental shelf
High-resolution data collected from several programs have greatly increased the spatiotemporal resolution of pCO2(sw) data in the Bering Sea, and provided the first autumn and winter observations. Using data from 2008 to 2012, monthly climatologies of sea-air CO2 fluxes for the Bering Sea shelf area from April to December were calculated, and contributions of physical and biological processes t...
متن کاملSummertime atmosphere–ocean preconditionings for the Bering Sea ice retreat and the following severe winters in North America
Atmospheric responses to sea ice retreat in the Bering Sea have been linked to recent extremewinters inNorthAmerica.We investigate the leading factor for the interannual variability of Bering sea ice area (SIA) in early winter (November–December), using canonical correlation analysis based on seasonally resolved atmosphere and ocean data for 1980–2014.We found that the 3-month leading (August–S...
