Fig. 3: Zonal mean response.

From: Robust but weak winter atmospheric circulation response to future Arctic sea ice loss

Fig. 3

Latitude-height cross sections of the multi-model ensemble mean zonally averaged DJF response of a temperature (\(\bar{T}\), colours, K, where the overbar denotes the zonal average) and transformed Eulerian mean (TEM, Methods) circulation (arrows), b zonal wind (\(\bar{u}\), ms−1), and c upward Eliassen-Palm (EP) flux (Fp, colours, standard deviations) and EP flux vectors (arrows representing Fϕ and Fp), d divergence of northward EP flux (ϕFϕ, standard deviations). Stippling as in Fig. 1. To aid visualisation the TEM circulation and EP fluxes are standardised by dividing by the internal variability of the present-day simulations (Methods).
