Summary:
• September Arctic sea-ice variability (MCA-SIC), in particular over the Barents-Kara Seas, is associated with a wave-like anomaly crossing Eurasia in November that (i) impacts vertical wave activity over both the North Pacific and northern European sectors, thus modulating the stratospheric vortex strength; and (ii) induces a positive transient-eddy feedback over the eastern North Atlantic helping to maintain the tropospheric anomaly. Negative SIC anomalies (i.e. sea-ice reduction) over the Barents-Kara Seas are followed by a negative NAO phase in winter.
• Time-evolving October Eurasian snow variability (EMCA-SCE) shows a south-westward progression from eastern to central Siberia, with larger SCE anomalies preceding a negative NAO phase in winter. This time-evolving SCE pattern leads to changes in the Siberian High, which further lead to enhanced/reduced vertical wave activity over eastern Eurasia affecting the stratospheric polar vortex over the North Pacific sector.
• These observational, surface-boundary forcings (Arctic SIC; Eurasian SCE) can be used to formulate empirical predictions of the winter NAO index (>50%) and European surface climate, as benchmark for dynamical predictions.
