Trends and Variability of North Pacific Polar Lows
Figure 7
Associated correlation patterns between time series of ocean surface temperature anomalies over 62 PLSs and time coefficient of the Polar Low occurrence from the first two CCA patterns (1st CCA pair, left column, 2nd right column). All variables are averaged across a Polar Low season, that is, from October to April. The surface temperature was taken from the NCEP1 reanalysis data, over the ocean. In case of no ice, it indicates the sea surface temperature (SST); else, it indicates the ice surface temperature.
