Summertime atmosphere–ocean preconditionings for the Bering Sea ice retreat and the following severe winters in North America

Atmospheric responses to sea ice retreat in the Bering Sea have been linked to recent extreme winters in North America. We investigate the leading factor for the interannual variability of Bering sea ice area (SIA) in early winter (November–December), using canonical correlation analysis based on se...
