Arctic-Mid-Latitude Linkages in a Nonlinear Quasi-Geostrophic Atmospheric Model

Figure 2

(a) The target (observed) time-mean zonal wind profiles (m/s) for the three model levels. The dark and light lines correspond to low and high Arctic sea-ice-cover conditions, respectively; the green, red, and black/grey color of lines refers to the upper, middle, and lower levels, correspondingly. (b) The target (observed, solid lines) and simulated (dashed lines) time-mean zonal wind profiles (m/s) for the three model levels for low Arctic sea-ice-cover conditions. (c) The same as in (b) but for high Arctic sea-ice-cover conditions.
