1 High-latitude influence on mid-latitude weather and climate Thomas Jung, Marta Anna Kasper, Tido Semmler, Soumia Serrar and Lukrecia Stulic Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research Germany
2 Background
3 Background
4 Background Synop, AIREP, DRIBU, TEMP and PILOT Polar data coverage of conventional observations in the ECMWF operational analysis on 1 January 2012 P. Bauer (ECMWF)
5 Atmospheric response to reduced sea ice thickness Semmler et al. (2012), Clim. Dyn. Semmler et al. (2014), Mon. Wea. Rev., submitted
6 Sensitivity experiment Setup ECMWF model 10 K T sfc perturbation AMIP-style integrations Weather and seasonal forecasts
7 Simulated Z500 response L H H
8 Colder winters? H
9 Coupled model experiments Coupled model ECHAM6-FESOM A total of months experiments Unperturbed control (long run) Reduced Arctic sea ice thickness by 80% on 1 June
10 Surface temperature response in DJF
11 Fast atmospheric response
12 Atmospheric temperature response 6-hrs D+1 D+2 D+1-D+5 D+6-D+10 D+11-D+15

16 Arctic influence on mid-latitude subseasonal prediction Jung et al. (2014), Geophys. Res. Lett.
17 The relaxation method Take an atmospheric model: Add a relaxation term that pulls the model towards some reference field: Make λ dependent on latitude, longitude and height (localization) Choose analysis or reanalysis data as reference fields Method: Pull the model towards observations in certain regions and study the impact on remote regions!
18 Polar relaxation: Mask
19 Polar relaxation: Mask
20 Experimental setup ECMWF model T L 159L60 (32r1) day forecasts (15 th of Nov, Dec, Jan and Feb; 1980/ /01) Initial and boundary conditions from ERA-40 Relaxation towards ERA-40 Persisted SST and sea ice Control, tropical relaxation and polar relaxation
21 Arctic relaxation Day 1 Day 5 Day 6 Day 10 Day 11 Day 30 Day 11 Day 30
22 Flow-dependence: Asia
23 Conclusions Observations: Strong link implied Arctic sea ice decline and simultaneous increase in the frequency of occurrence of cold European and North American winters Underlying mechanisms (causality) not really understood Models: Consistent model response is found over North America and especially Eurasia Main pathways supported through NWP Simulated response is small-ish Are models sufficiently responsive? Sea ice decline leads to a reduced warming over Europe Prediction: Improved polar prediction capabilities lead to increased prediction skill over NH continents (especially winter)
24 The dynamics of recent winters

28 Z500 anomalies: DJF 2009/10 Jung et al. (2011), Geophys. Res Lett.
29 Conclusions Observations: Strong link implied Arctic sea ice decline and simultaneous increase in the frequency of occurrence of cold European and North American winters Underlying mechanisms not really understood Models: Consistent model response is found over North America, Eastern Europe and Asia Simulated response is small-ish Sea ice decline leads to a reduced warming over Europe Models not sufficiently responsive? Sea ice of secondary importance for recent winters 2005/06 and 2009/10? Postulated influence of Arctic sea ice on mid-latitude climate (cool winters) is not new
