From: Antarctic Peninsula warm winters influenced by Tasman Sea temperatures
Difference maps for (a) air temperature at 700 hPa (T700) (°C: shaded) and sea level pressure (SLP) (hPa: contours), (b) geopotential height at 300 hPa (Z300) (m: shaded) with the horizontal component of wave-activity flux anomalies (m2/s2: vector) at 300 hPa (WAF300) from ref. 53, (c) cyclone density (shaded: count/S) with climatological cyclone density (count/S: contours), (d) precipitation (mm/month), (e) sea surface temperatures (SSTs) between warm and cold winters (°C: shaded) with climatological SST (°C: contours) and (f) U-wind speed at 300 hPa (UWS300) (m/s: shaded) with climatological UWS300 (m/s: contours) for 1979–2019 between warm and cold AP winters. Dotted areas denote significant differences exceeding the 95% confidence level.
