Fig. 1: Correlation among surface air temperature (SAT), sea ice concentration (SIC), and poleward energy transport (PET).

From: Changes in sea ice concentration explain half of the winter warming of the Arctic surface

Fig. 1

a Standardized anomalies (relative to 1980–2024) of area-averaged DJF-mean SAT (red), reversed-sign SIC (blue), and PET (black) over the Arctic (poleward of 70°N). b Same as (a) but for detrended time series. The correlation coefficient (R) and the corresponding p-value are marked at the bottom of each panel.
