Summary: This study investigates the relationship between Arctic Ocean surface circulation and the Arctic Oscillation (AO) through the analysis of sea level pressure, sea surface height, and sea surface temperature. The results show that the circulation in the Arctic Ocean exhibits a periodic variation with the AO, leading to changes in the direction and amplitude of circulation.

Summary: This study uses independent component analysis to remove common mode errors and determine the optimal noise model for GPS data in Antarctica. The results show that all GIA forward models underestimate GPS-observed velocities, and the GPS vertical velocities are larger on the North Antarctic Peninsula compared to the South Antarctic Peninsula.

Summary: This study aimed to describe interannual climate variability in the West Antarctic Peninsula, finding a pattern of warm followed by cold episodes and the presence of warm waters near the coast during warm episodes. The WAP can be divided into two ecoregions, and the Southern Annular Mode was identified as the primary driver of SST variability. Further research is needed to better understand regional climate variability in the WAP and its relation with SAM and ENSO.

Summary: Time series of contaminants in the Arctic are important for detecting emerging issues and monitoring the effectiveness of chemicals regulation. Climate change could influence these time trends, but the mechanisms are not well understood. Biological data indicate changes in diet and trophic level of some species, while physical climate parameters show correlations with POP temporal trends.

Summary: This study shows that the Quasi-Biennial Oscillation (QBO) has a significant impact on the spatial structure of the Arctic Oscillation (AO) during boreal winter. The North Pacific center (NPC) of the AO is stronger during the westerly phase of the QBO (WQBO) compared to the easterly phase of the QBO (EQBO). The QBO influences the winter AO by modulating the intensity of the stratospheric polar vortex, resulting in a more prominent NPC of the AO in WQBO years. The findings have important implications for seasonal climate prediction in North America based on the AO.

Summary: This study investigates the influence of solar activity on the polar ionosphere using TEC data and solar activity parameters. The results show that the polar ionospheric TEC is significantly affected by solar activity, and the variation of TEC differs in different solar activity stages and intensities.

Summary: The study found different trends in the annualresolved northernmost latitude of sea ice edge for different sectors of the Antarctic, with trends in the Weddell Sea, Bellingshausen Sea, and the Indian and western Pacific Ocean regions largely dominated by the changes in the Southern Annular Mode, while trends in the Amundsen Sea and Ross Sea are mainly influenced by the Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation.

Summary: This paper proposes an orthogonal representation of sound speed profiles that considers background field variation. High-precision sound speed profile prediction is achieved using the long short-term memory recurrent neural network. The prediction accuracy is demonstrated with real data, reducing the mean RMSE of sound speed profile prediction to about 1 m/s.

Summary: This study assessed long-term changes in carbonate chemistry in the Bransfield Strait and found that the hydrographic setting drives temporal variability of carbonate parameters. The western basin has experienced decreases in pH and O-ar over the last three decades. The central basin was characterized by a high contribution of Dense Shelf Water with high carbon dioxide content.

Summary: This paper introduces a novel model called multiresolution mode decomposition (MMD) for adaptive time series analysis. The multiresolution intrinsic mode function (MIME) is proposed to model nonlinear and non-stationary data, showcasing the method's effectiveness in real-world applications.

Summary: The accelerated rate of climate change in the Arctic Ocean is in line with the extreme seasonal variability of the system. Two years of continuous pH, salinity, and temperature data from a kelp bed in Stefansson Sound, Alaska, show that freshwater runoff from the nearby river affects short-term pH variability, while biological and physiochemical processes dominate pH changes during the winter months. These long-term measurements reveal the natural but critical influence of changing river inputs on the pH of Arctic nearshore waters.

Summary: This study conducted a spatiotemporal super-resolution estimation of the time-resolved three-dimensional density fields of an underexpanded jet using non-time-resolved three-dimensional background-oriented schlieren (3D-BOS) and time-resolved microphone measurements. The intermittent and switching behavior of the B mode of the jet was reconstructed from the microphone data using a linear regression model. The temporal changes in the strengths of two rotating helical structures with opposite rotation directions explain the intermittency in the flapping to helical structures and their strength.

Summary: Antarctic sea ice has become more extensive in the past four decades despite a warming climate. Regional climate heterogeneity in Indian Antarctic sea-ice cover over the last 2000 years is driven by multi-decadal variability of El Nino Southern Oscillation and Southern Annular Mode. Natural variability plays a crucial role in recent sea-ice trends and decadal variability in the Southern Ocean.

Summary: This study developed a network of four annually resolved tree-ring records in Southwest China, demonstrating spatial coherence and a strong relationship with local humidity and precipitation, as well as synchronization with the Indian summer monsoon. The records also showed in-phase relationships with the Indian summer monsoon and El Nino-Southern Oscillation over the past 150 years, reflecting the long-term history of large-scale atmospheric circulation.
