Abstract

This study establishes a new snow indicator for Tibetan Plateau (TP) snow variability: the snow cover extent increment within late autumn. This indicator shows a robust link to subsequent spring Arctic sea-ice concentration. Faster TP snow cover extent increment leads to stronger TP cooling and disturbances along the subtropical westerly jet, inducing a TP-Arctic wave train and a spring Arctic cyclonic anomaly. This anomaly favors sea-ice reduction through equatorward sea ice drift.
