1. Jason Furtado:

   When the stratospheric polar vortex is strong, the jet stream tends to move further north, which keeps the cold air in the Arctic Amplification and allows relatively milder conditions across much of the United States and Eurasia.

2. Myles Allen:

   A problem is that every climate documentary starts with an image of a polar bear, which send the message that climate change happens in the Arctic, on the other side of the world, but these events show that's not true.

3. Jason Furtado:

   When the polar vortex is weak, or an SSW event occurs, then the jet stream will tend to weakened, move further south, and become' wavier,' the effect of these changes is for warmer than normal air to move into the Arctic Amplification, colder weather to enter North America and Europe/Asia, and more extreme weather and storms overall in the middle latitudes( e.g., snowstorms).

4. Ryan Maue:

   The combined flow at all levels of atmosphere was directed from the Atlantic over the Arctic and into Siberia, thus, warmer and moister marine air from Atlantic traveled over the Pole and raised temps to near or at freezing for a few hours. However, the warm advection event was short lived and temps are closer to normal well below 0.

5. Chris Beard:

   (The findings) tells us to expect dramatic and dynamic changes to the Arctic ecosystem as it transforms in the face of continued warming, some animals that don’t currently live in the Arctic will colonize that region, and some of them will adapt to their new environment in ways that parallel Ignacius. Likewise, we can expect some of the new colonists to diversify in the Arctic, just as Ignacius did.
