TL;DR: In this article, a large-scale atmospheric state associated with widespread wintertime warm and cold extremes in southern Alaska was identified using 1989 to 2007 European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts Interim Re-Analysis (ERA-I) data.

TL;DR: In this paper, an assessment of linkages between summer atmospheric patterns and sectoral anomalies in the area of maximum open water north of 70°N demonstrates that there is asymmetry in the mechanisms years with low ice extent and high open water fraction are uniformly associated with positive temperature anomalies and southerly flow in both the Atlantic and Pacific sectors.

TL;DR: In this paper, a numerical weather prediction model and a storm surge inundation model have been applied to the 21 case studies identified in National Weather Service data as high wind events, and a reduced-form model that adequately describes the flooding response has been developed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use self-organizing maps (SOMs) to understand circulation characteristics conducive for extreme precipitation events in Alaska, using an artificial neural network that uses an unsupervised training process to find general patterns of circulation behavior.
