Abstract

Statistical relationships are investigated between changes in total Arctic sea ice volume and variations in mean meridional velocities of air crossing the corresponding sections of the southern Arctic boundary during the summer months in 1979-2018. A consistent significant correlation between the ice volume and northerly wind speeds in the lower tropospheric layers is revealed for the Siberian sector. An increase in the analyzed correlation is found in 2012-2020 for all Northern Hemisphere sectors, except for the Atlantic one, which is supposedly due to the decrease in mean solar activity levels taking place against the intensifying global climate warming.
