Cross-seasonal connection found between Arctic sea ice and Eurasian summertime temperature

In recent decades, the Arctic region has been experiencing noticeable warming and substantial sea ice loss. While research has shed light on the influence of the Arctic on mid-latitude weather and climate during winter, its impact on summertime conditions has received less attention and remains less understood. In this context, a research team from Nanjing University set out to investigate the relationship between changes in Arctic sea ice and summertime temperature fluctuations over Eurasia, along with potential underlying mechanisms.
