What Influences Activity of Zonal Circulation over Eurasia in Periods of Arctic Amplification?
Abstract:
Since late 1990s, drastic increase of surface air temperature over the Arctic area has been observed. By the way, the surface air temperature increase of lower latitude region is weaker than the Arctic. The non-homogeneous heating affects zonal atmospheric circulation unfavorably and more wavy in meridional. Especially, increase of weather extremes, Heat waves, cold spells droughts prolonged wet periods are related to these amplification of atmospheric planetary waves.
