The role of the Siberian high in northern hemisphere climate variability

@article{Cohen2001TheRO,  title={The role of the Siberian high in northern hemisphere climate variability},  author={Judah Cohen and Kazuyuki Saito and Dara Entekhabi},  journal={Geophysical Research Letters},  year={2001},  volume={28},  url={https://api.semanticscholar.org/CorpusID:129024923}}
The dominant mode of sea level pressure (SLP) variability during the winter months in the Northern Hemisphere (NH) is characterized by a dipole with one anomaly center covering the Arctic with the opposite sign anomaly stretched across the mid‐latitudes. Associated with the SLP anomaly, is a surface temperature anomaly induced by the anomalous circulation. We will show that this anomaly pattern originates in the early fall, on a much more regional scale, in Siberia. As the season progresses…
