Conclusions

With the above analyses, we come to the followingg conclusions

  1. (1)

    Interannual variations of winter sea-ice extent in the Greenland, the Kara and the Barents Seas can induce the Northern Hemispheric atmospheric circulation anomalies, especially when winter atmosphere lags winter sea-ice by 3 a.

  2. (2)

    ENSO events happened when the variation velocities of winter sea-ice extent in the Greenland, the Kara and the Barents Seas reached an extreme value.

  3. (3)

    The third year before ENSO events happened, 62.5% ofthe variation velocities of winter sea-ice extent in the Greenland, the Kara and the Barents Seas reached a negative extreme value.
