This FrostByte was created by Richard Hall, for the International Committee of Arctic Research Planning III meeting, held 23 - 30 April 2015, in Toyama, Japan.

North Atlantic jet stream variability is attributable to internal chaotic variability but also to external forcings. One potential external driver is Barents-Kara sea ice extent. Here we look at variability of the jet in the winter season(DJF) and its association with sea ice variability in the preceding November. A clear pattern of anomalies emerges.

The atmosphere-ocean boundary layer in which sea ice resides includes many complex processes that require a more realistic treatment in GCMs, particularly as models move toward full earth system descriptions. The primary purpose of the workshop was to define and discuss such coupled processes...
