• The mechanisms that determine the response of the Northern Hemisphere’s stationary waves to North American Ice Sheets 

      Roberts, William H.G.; Li, Camille; Valdes, Paul J. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-07-01)
      Stationary waves describe the persistent meanders in the west–east flow of the extratropical atmosphere. Here, changes in stationary waves caused by ice sheets over North America are examined and the underlying mechanisms ...
    • Nordic Seas Heat Loss, Atlantic Inflow, and Arctic Sea Ice cover over the last century 

      Smedsrud, Lars Henrik; Muilwijk, Morven; Eldevik, Tor; Årthun, Marius; Brakstad, Ailin; Madonna, Erica; Lauvset, Siv Kari; Spensberger, Clemens; Born, Andreas; Drange, Helge; Jeansson, Emil; Li, Camille; Olsen, Are; Skagseth, Øystein; Slater, Donald; Straneo, Fiammetta; Våge, Kjetil (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Poleward ocean heat transport is a key process in the earth system. We detail and review the northward Atlantic Water (AW) flow, Arctic Ocean heat transport, and heat loss to the atmosphere since 1900 in relation to sea ...
    • North Atlantic Oscillation in winter is largely insensitive to autumn Barents-Kara sea ice variability 

      Siew, Yu Feng; Li, Camille; Ting, Mingfang; Sobolowski, Stefan Pieter; Wu, Yutian; Chen, Xiaodan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Arctic sea ice extent in autumn is significantly correlated with the winter North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) in the satellite era. However, questions about the robustness and reproducibility of the relationship persist. ...
    • Pacific circulation response to eastern Arctic sea ice reduction in seasonal forecast simulations 

      Seidenglanz, Anne; Athanasiadis, Panos J.; Ruggieri, Paolo; Cvijanovic, Ivana; Li, Camille; Gualdi, Silvio (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Recent studies point to the sensitivity of mid-latitude winter climate to Arctic sea ice variability. However, there remain contradictory results in terms of character and timing of Northern Hemisphere large-scale circulation ...
    • Rapid response of the Norwegian Atlantic Slope Current to wind forcing 

      Brown, Nicola; Mauritzen, Cecilie; Li, Camille; Madonna, Erica; Isachsen, Pål Erik; Lacasce, Joseph Henry (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      We explore drivers of variability in the Norwegian Atlantic Slope Current, which carries relatively warm Atlantic Water toward the Barents Sea and Arctic Ocean, using Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service (CMEMS) ...
    • Reconciling conflicting evidence for the cause of the observed early 21st century Eurasian cooling 

      Outten, Stephen; Li, Camille; King, Martin Peter; Suo, Lingling; Siew, Yu Feng; Cheung, Hoffman; Davy, Richard; Dunn-Sigouin, Etienne; Furevik, Tore; He, Shengping; Madonna, Erica; Sobolowski, Stefan Pieter; Spengler, Thomas; Woollings, Tim (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      It is now well established that the Arctic is warming at a faster rate than the global average. This warming, which has been accompanied by a dramatic decline in sea ice, has been linked to cooling over the Eurasian ...
    • Reconstructing winter climate anomalies in the Euro-Atlantic sector using circulation patterns 

      Madonna, Erica; Battisti, David; Li, Camille; White, Rachel H. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      The efficacy of Euro-Atlantic circulation regimes for estimating wintertime climate anomalies (precipitation and surface temperature) over Europe is assessed. A comparison of seasonal climate reconstructions from two ...
    • A Regime View of ENSO Flavors Through Clustering in CMIP6 Models 

      Ayar, Pradeebane Vaittinada; Battisti, David Stephen; Li, Camille; King, Martin; Vrac, Mathieu; Tjiputra, Jerry (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) flavors in the tropical Pacific are studied from a regime perspective. Five recurring spatial patterns or regimes characterizing the diversity of ENSO are established using a clustering ...
    • The relationship between the eddy-driven jet stream and northern European sea level variability 

      Mangini, Fabio; Chafik, Léon; Madonna, Erica; Li, Camille; Bertino, Laurent; Nilsen, Jan Even Øie (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Wintertime sea level variability over the northern European continental shelf is largely wind-driven. Using daily gridded sea level anomaly from altimetry, we examine both the spatial and the temporal relationship between ...
    • Resampling of ENSO teleconnections: accounting for cold-season evolution reduces uncertainty in the North Atlantic 

      King, Martin Peter; Li, Camille; Sobolowski, Stefan Pieter (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      We re-examine the uncertainty of the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) teleconnection to the North Atlantic following the investigation of Deser et al. (2017) (DES2017). Our analyses are performed on the November–December ...
    • Response of Arctic Ocean stratification to changing river runoff in a column model 

      Nummelin, Aleksi; Li, Camille; Smedsrud, Lars Henrik (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-04-07)
      A one-dimensional model of the atmosphere-ice-ocean column is used to study the effects of changing river runoff to the Arctic Ocean. River runoff is the largest contributor of freshwater to the Arctic and is expected to ...
    • Suppressed eddy driving during southward excursions of the North Atlantic jet on synoptic to seasonal time scales 

      Madonna, Erica; Li, Camille; Wettstein, Justin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-09-05)
      Jet streams shape midlatitude weather and climate. The North Atlantic jet is mainly eddy‐driven, with frequent north–south excursions on synoptic time scales arising from eddy forcings and feedbacks. There are, however, ...
