“The development of the subpolar lows in summer only occurs weakly (Figure 5 - over Greenland and Baffin Island, Canada), unlike the Southern Hemisphere.”
“The meeting of the warm subtropical and cold polar air masses at the subpolar low zone enhances frontal uplift and the formation of intense low pressure systems.”
“At high latitudes the return flows include export by ice and transport in low-salinity boundary currents, intermediate water (which forms and sinks along the subpolar fronts), and deep water (which sinks on shelves and in gyres).”
“This collision results in frontal uplift and the creation of the subpolar lows or mid-latitude cyclones.”
