| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Atmosphere-ocean (-sea ice) interaction processes in the Sea of Okhotsk and the Arctic Sea were investigated, where characteristic seasonality, such as the formation of seasonal sea ice areas in winter as well as the formation of the Okhotsk High and low-level clouds in summer, is exhibited. Sea surface temperature (SST) in the Sea of Okhotsk is kept cool in summer. This is likely attributed to the feedback between the SST and the low-level clouds. As for winter, it was found that the sea ice extent in the Sea of Okhotsk is linked well with the sea ice extent of the preceding summer in the Eastern Siberian Sea within the Arctic Sea. We investigated this linkage from a novel point of view, which is the annual Arctic Oscillation (annual AO), defined by the surface pressure anomaly averaged over one year from January of each year. Feedback processes associated with the annual AO were discussed.
