a, b Similar to Fig. 3a, b, but for the result of atmosphere-only experiments. We observe that North Pacific warming leads to a uniform increase in the blocking frequency across Eurasian mid-high latitudes. This suggests that the reduced blocking frequency in the Ural region under sea-level rise (Fig. 3b)—less favorable for extreme cold events in East Asia—may be influenced by other factors, such as the cooling in North Atlantic and Barents-Kara Seas9. The results of each experiment are shown in Supplementary Fig. 19. All results are based on the 40-year mean of each experiment.
