From: Future loss of Arctic sea-ice cover could drive a substantial decrease in California’s rainfall
Atmospheric impacts of Arctic sea-ice loss. Shown are the ensemble mean differences (“low Arctic ice” minus control) for December–February (DJF) season. Stippling indicates anomalies that are statistically significant at the 90% confidence level. a Surface temperature anomalies. b Precipitation anomalies (absolute). c Precipitation anomalies (relative). d Outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) anomalies (shading) and the high cloud cover anomalies (contours). e 500 hPa geopotential distribution changes. f Stream function changes. Negative cloud cover anomalies in d are indicated with dashed lines
