While individual weather extreme events cannot be directly linked to larger scale climate changes, recent data analysis and modeling suggest a link between loss of sea ice and a shift to an increased impact from the Arctic on mid-latitude climate.

Winter 2009-2010 showed a new connectivity between mid-latitude extreme cold and snowy weather events and changes in the wind patterns of the Arctic; the so-called Warm Arctic-Cold Continents pattern.

In a larger context, the circulations that encompass Shary and 90L are really remnants of the kind of mid-latitude weather systems (i.e., upper troughs and cold fronts) that bypass us every few days.

Abstract It has long been recognized that the tropics were drier and mid-latitude deserts wetter during the Last Glacial Maximum LGM.

But it will be interesting to see if the global models 'predictions for the mid-latitude trough/ridge pattern will gradually shift in the coming days toward one more conducive to tropical cyclone strikes.

According to its description the MT air mass "is typically found in warm sectors of mid-latitude cyclones [low pressure] or in a return flow on the western side of an anticyclone [high pressure]."

The ABL in the Arctic differs significantly from its mid-latitude counterpart, so parameterizations based on mid-latitude observations tend to perform poorly in the Arctic.
