Collection Polar–Midlatitude Interactions: Impacts on Weather Extremes and Climate Dynamics Submission status Open Submission deadline 31 December 2025 ...

This Collection explores how Arctic/Antarctic processes like sea ice loss impact midlatitude jet stream stability, polar vortex behavior, and extreme weather events.

The research, titled "Spatial heterogeneity in the formation of large deserts in midlatitude Asia revealed by drill core evidence", was published in the Science Bulletin this month.

A warmer Arctic has been linked to extreme winter weather in the midlatitude regions. But, it is not clear how global warming affects this link. In a new study, researchers from Korea and USA show ...

Carbon Brief posted an excellent 2019 overview of research into Arctic-midlatitude climate connections. The post includes comments from Screen as well as Jennifer Francis, the Rutgers University ...

A new study projects that more hurricanes will be coming to midlatitude regions, which include major population centers such as New York, Boston and Shanghai, because of climate change.

We found that the midlatitude deserts retreated significantly at the southern boundary, while the polar ice belts and low-latitude vegetation belts expanded," says Dr. He.

Changes in ventilation of the Southern Hemisphere oceans in response to changes in midlatitude westerly winds are examined by analyzing the ideal age tracer from global eddy-permitting ocean–ice model ...
