Abstract

Abstract

The possible influence of sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies over the tropical Pacific on the Arctic sea ice and their possible mechanisms are researched from atmospheric circulation and net surface heat flux by using monthly data of HadISST and NCEP/NCAR spanning from 1950 to 2015. The main results obtained show that during summer and autumn of ENSO development phase, EP and CP El Niño events have no apparent connection with the Arctic sea ice anomalies. However, strong signals are detected when it happens to La Niña and there are distinctive differences between EP and CP events.Sea ice reduce in Barents/Kara Sea in EP La Niña but increase in East Siberia/Chukchi Sea in CP La Niña. During summer and autumn of EP La Niña's development, SST anomalies over the tropical Pacific leads to negative SLP in Barents/Kara Sea by teleconnection wave trains and forms AO-like pattern together with positive SLP in middle latitude. It changes the wind which brings warm advection and southerly anomalies helps to transfer more warm water from North Atlantic, high water vapor content at the same time enhance the income of net surface heat flux and result in the decrease of sea ice in Barents/Kara Sea. In the situation of CP La Niña, East Siberia/Chukchi Sea are dominated by north wind in summer because of a cyclonic circulation in the eastern side, sea ice are transported here from North Pole and thus sea ice concentration increased, effect of net surface heat flux is small.
