Riptide Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 I suppose you could say that this upper-level pattern supports significant sea ice and snow cover growth in the arctic, unlike previous years. We definitely need something like this to make up for diminishing sea ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riptide Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 I'm not sure where I can obtain the anomaly maps for 2009-2010, but I recall a distinct pattern were the mid-latitudes were below average and the arctic was baking, probably as a result of the -AO. Without the recent cutoff low, temperatures would definitely be average to slightly above average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
