Fig. 4: Relationship between regional circulation and Svalbard temperature and precipitation in MPI-ESM1-2-LR transient simulation over the Common Era (past2k experiment).
From: Climate extremes in Svalbard over the last two millennia are linked to atmospheric blocking
a Scandinavian Blocking (SB) pattern calculated by regressing Jun-Nov monthly 500 hPa geopotential height (Z500) anomaly field on the SB index (see Methods). b Regressions of Jun-Nov monthly temperature and the SB index. c Regressions of Jun-Nov monthly precipitation and the SB index. d Relationship between Jun-Nov monthly temperature and precipitation in over the period 1–1850 CE. The spatial average is calculated over the domain shown in Fig. 1a. e Relationship between the strength of the SB index and low-level moisture transport over the Greenland Sea. Cross-hatching shows regions with significant regression coefficients at the 95% significance level.
