英文摘要: Aregression analysis between observed summertimeAtlantic water temperature anomalies at the entrance to the Barents Sea and atmospheric fields in the following winter from the NCEP-NCAR reanalysis in the period 1982-2006 is carried out. It shows that the ocean plays a key role in shapingwintertime tropospheric variability in the Nordic seas (Greenland-Iceland-Norwegian and Barents Seas) region. The oceanically driven atmospheric circulation anomaly around the Nordic seas marginal ice zone is intensified at the surface as a result of a thermally direct baroclinic adjustment. Frictional convergence in the cyclonic disturbance corresponding to warm ocean temperature anomalies forces ascending motion at the top of the planetary boundary layer and a compensating divergence aloft, which over the Barents Sea is extreme at the tropopause. A quasi-meridional overturning circulation anomaly is closed by descending motion south of the cyclonic disturbance. In addition, an equivalent barotropic flow anomaly appears in the upper troposphere. It is partly driven by eddy-mean flow interactions, as revealed by anomalies in the vorticity budget. The atmospheric response to oceanic forcing in the Nordic seas area is unique because of the prominent role of surface friction and because of specific profiles of diabatic heating and eddy heat flux convergence over the Barents Sea.As revealed by anomalies in the heat budget, the combined effect of diabatic heating and thermal eddy forcing acts, when the diabatic heating is positive, as a heat sink at the surface and a heat source aloft. The strongest anomalous heating occurs in the upper troposphere/lower stratosphere where it counteracts the dynamic cooling owing to anomalous ascending motion. © 2014 American Meteorological Society.
