\begin{abstract}
Arctic sea ice loss has been implicated in the recent trend toward unusually cold Eurasian winters1,2. Whether the linkage follows from anthropogenic sea ice loss, however, remains an open question as the sea-ice loss combines anthropogenic response and internal (random) variability3,4, and because of confounding wintertime variability over the Eurasian continent5,6 Here, we isolate the anthropogenic and random components of the linkage using a large ensemble of atmosphere-only model simulations with prescribed sea ice loss taken from simulations of the companion atmosphere-ocean-cryosphere model. We find no evidence of a sea-ice loss related increase in the prevalence of cold Eurasian winters. However, we do find long periods of significant early winter Eurasian cooling linked to internally-generated circulation features over the Barents and Kara Sea regions of the Arctic. These results challenge the perception that Arctic sea ice loss was responsible for the recent prevalence of unusually cold Eurasian winters, showing instead that these winters were more likely the consequence of internal variability, with implications for our understanding of impacts and adaptation in human and natural high-northern latitude systems.
%Observed Arctic sea ice loss has been implicated in the recent prevalence of anomalously cold winters in Eurasia. Whether this linkage is a robust feature of anthropogenic sea ice loss, however, remains an open question because observed sea ice loss is due to a combination of external (human-induced) forcing and internal (random) variability. The interpretation of any warm Arctic-cold Eurasia linkages is further complicated by large wintertime internal variability over midlatitude land in observations and in atmospheric model simulations that attempt to isolate the response to sea ice loss. Here we execute two large ensembles ($>$600 years per ensemble) of simulations in an atmospheric general circulation model with prescribed sea ice loss taken from five historical simulations in the associated coupled global climate model in order to isolate the impact of past human-induced sea ice loss, as distinct from observed sea ice loss, on Eurasian temperature. We find the average Eurasian temperature response is negligible due to human-induced sea ice loss, however we find long periods (120 years) of both significant average warming and cooling over Eurasia in early winter, linked to geopotential height anomalies over the Barents-Kara Seas region of the Arctic. This suggests that observed cold winters are due to some combination of internal variability in the sea ice itself, internal variability in the response to human-induced sea ice loss, or external factors.

%\section{Introduction}
Internal variability in the climate system plays an important role in determining the evolution of Arctic sea-ice extent (cite Wettstein14, Swart15), contributing approximately 50\% to the magnitude of the observed trend (cite Stroeve07, Kay11). Recent reductions in Arctic sea-ice area (cite Stroeve12) have coincided with an apparent prevalence of colder wintertime surface air temperature over Eurasian land surfaces (cite Cohen12), prompting associations to be drawn in the literature between the two observed phenomena (cite Mori14, Kim14, Inoue12, Overland11, Liu12,Petoukhov10,Honda09,Peings13). Anomalously cold Eurasian surface air temperature (SAT) in winter is particularly sensitive to observed sea-ice loss in the Barents-Kara Seas (BKS) region through Rossby wave propogation incited by increased surface heat fluxes (Peings13,Kim14,Mori14,Honda09).
Distinguishing a robust Arctic sea ice -- Eurasian SAT linkage is complicated by the large internal variability in atmospheric circulation and SAT in the mid-latitudes (cite Deser12,Screen13). Indeed, Honda et al. (2009), who find that BKS sea-ice loss causes late-winter Eurasian cooling in an AGCM, state that their results are significantly weakened if all model integrations are included in their analysis average instead of a subset. Furthermore, much of the 'forcing' in these scenarios, the observed sea ice change, is itself also due to internal variability. Thus, a critical question remains: Has human-induced sea ice loss caused colder Eurasian winter temperatures? Answering this is important because unlike intrinsic variability that is by definition chaotic, the anthropogenic signal is theoretically identifiable and meaningful for future implications, as the anthropogenic signal will continue to grow and potentially emerge from the noise of internal variability.
% Results
A clear anthropogenic signal in Arctic sea ice area changes in early winter (Nov-Dec; ND) since 1979 is already evident, demonstrated by the separation of histograms in Figure 1. The histograms show ND sea ice area changes from 1979-89 to 2002-12 from 50 simulations executed in the Canadian Earth System Model v2 (CanESM2) that are forced with all historical forcings (Historical; red), and 50 simulations forced with only natural forcings (HistoricalNat; gray. See Methods). Whereas natural forcing yields nearly equal chances of sea-ice growth and sea-ice loss, including anthropogenic forcing always yields sea-ice loss even with the large spread from internal variability. Estimates of sea ice loss from satellite measurements over the same time period are shown as green (National Snow and Ice Data Center; NSIDC) and blue (Hadley Centre sea ice and SST dataset v1.1; HadISST) circles on the Historical curve fit. Observations represent one potential reality out of many, and thus are not expected to fall in any particular place on the Historical distribution. The CanESM2 Historical ensemble compares favourably with the NSIDC observations, however we note that the HadISST data, which is considered less reliable (cite Meier12), underestimate ND sea-ice loss and fall within the HistoricalNat distribution.
Here we show the powerful and sometimes misleading effect internal variability can have on the response of Eurasian SAT to Arctic sea ice loss using two large ensembles of atmospheric general circulation model (AGCM) simulations. Pairs of simulations are executed with the CanESM's associated Canadian AGCM (CanAM4) in which past (1979-89) and present-day (2002-12) Arctic sea-ice conditions from the five CanESM2 Historical ensemble members that are included as part of CMIP5 (anomalies shown as red circles in Figure 1) are prescribed as boundary conditions (Methods). Annually-repeating, monthly sea-ice concentration (SIC), sea-ice thickness (SIT), and local sea surface temperature (where SIC $<$ 15\% in the present day but not the past) are prescribed and executed for 120 years each for 'past' conditions and 'present-day' conditions for each of five boundary conditions ('Individual SIC forcing' ensemble). We similarly execute five pairs of 120-year simulations differing only in their initial conditions, with the average of the five Historical ensemble members as boundary conditions ('Average SIC forcing' ensemble). Thus in total, each ensemble consists of 600 years of (present - past) anomalies, which we consider the response to Arctic sea ice loss. The 'Average SIC forcing' (present-past) anomalies represent the response to the 'human-induced' sea-ice loss in which internal variability is averaged out. Alternatively, the average of all of the 'Individual SIC forcings' simulation anomalies also estimates the response to human-induced Arctic sea-ice loss. A comparison of their additivity is a subject of future work. %
Figure 2a shows early winter polar SAT changes in the Individual SIC forcing ensemble (black) and in the Average SIC forcing ensemble (red) as 'uncertainty cascades' (cite Wilby10?) to illustrate the effect of variable boundary conditions as well as internal variability in the response to sea-ice loss. The average of all five sets of 120-year anomalies (or 'superensemble average') is shown as the top level of each cascade, with individual 120-year averages making up the middle, and two subsampled 60-year averages for each 120-year member constituting the bottom level. While the superensemble average polar SAT responses are similar and not statistically different from one another, the effect of variable boundary forcing in the top cascade is apparent in the larger range of 120-year polar SAT responses, although their variances are not statistically different at 95\% (p=0.11; Sep-Oct variances are different at p=0.02). In all cases, the ND polar SAT over present-day Arctic SIC is significantly different from the SAT over past SIC at the 95\% level, as indicated by the filled circles (Methods).
The SAT response over Eurasia (35$^\circ$N-60$^\circ$N, 40$^\circ$E-120$^\circ$E), however, is not statistically different from zero in either superensemble average (top level in each cascade in Fig. 2b), indicating that the robust response of Eurasian temperature to human-induced Arctic sea-ice loss is essentially no response. Nevertheless, two of the 'Individual SIC forcing' ensemble members do have statistically significant Eurasian SAT anomalies at the 95\% level --- one a cooling of about -0.3$^\circ$C, and one a warming of about 0.3$^\circ$C. Moreover, the 'Average SIC forcing' ensemble, whose members all have identical sea-ice boundary forcing, have ensemble members with warm and cool Eurasian SAT anomalies that are significant at the 90\% level (p=0.093, p=0.052 for warm and cold anomalies, respectively). Indeed, a small number of 60-year average anomalies are also significant, which is important to recognize because many studies understandably utilize 60- to 100-year integrations to draw conclusions that may prove inaccurate given larger ensemble sizes. The effect of differing boundary forcing on Eurasian SAT, and certainly circulation variables (not shown), is overpowered by the internal variability in the response. This is illustrated by the comparable spread in the 120-year average anomalies between the two ensembles.
We have seen that Arctic sea-ice loss can yield both warmer and cooler Eurasian SATs in early winter, even with a large ensemble size of 120-years each (top of Fig. 2b), and even with identical boundary forcing (bottom of Fig. 2b). To understand this further, we show in Figure 3 the spatial maps of the change in SAT (shading) and in geopotential heights at 500 mb (Z500; contours) over Eurasia for the two extreme cases in the 'Individual SIC forcings' ensemble. The circulation response associated with these SAT patterns are quite different from one another and in some locations, nearly opposite. The cooling case (Fig. 3a) shows an increase in Z500 to the north and a weak decrease over central Eurasia. This pattern is conducive for advection of polar air to the south and west along Z500 contours, and is particularly favourable in the region just over and south of the Barents-Kara Seas, just visible in the north-northcenter of the image. In contrast, the warming case (Fig. 3b) exhibits a decrease in Z500 in that same region, with increases over the southern continent and the northeast. This pattern favours warm-moist air advection from the south and west.
The relationship between early winter circulation over the Barents-Kara Seas and Eurasian SAT is genuine and exists across 120-year ensemble member averages (Fig. 4). As the Z500 anomalies over the Barents-Kara Seas increase, Eurasian SAT anomalies decrease, with a regression slope of -0.18$^\circ$C/10m and a p-value of 0.054. We compute the regression line across all 10 ensemble members because the two ensemble groups are statistically indistinguishable (mean and variance of BKS Z500 and Eurasian SAT between the two ensembles are not different), however the same relationship also holds within each individual simulation in time, with similar slopes (-0.14 to -0.18$^\circ$C/10m) and significance (p$<$0.001; not shown/supplementary?). Thus, the physical mechanisms that lead to the Eurasian cooling case are consistent with existing work that points to high geopotential heights over the Barents-Kara Seas region. What is notable here, however, is that there is no indication that changes in sea-ice concentration are the fundamental origin of Eurasian SAT anomalies, because sea-ice concentration is prescribed in our simulations. In further support of this, we find no relationship between 120-year average BKS surface fluxes (turbulent or net flux) and Eurasian SAT, or BKS SAT and Eurasian SAT (not shown/supp?). This finding is consistent with Woollings et al. (2014) who found no relationship between BKS temperature and Eurasian blocking in CMIP5 models. Furthermore, we find no change in the frequency distributions of yearly Nov-Dec averaged Eurasian SATs between the simulations with past sea-ice boundary forcing versus present-day sea-ice boundary forcing (not show/supp?).
Eurasian cooling in the observational record may be driven initially by changes in North Atlantic SST via a shift in the Gulf Stream front, which triggers planetary waves that lead to both BKS sea-ice loss and Eurasian cooling (cite Sato14), or due to the phase of the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation causing there to be more instances of a negative North American Oscillation index and blocking conducive to causing continental cooling (cite Peings14) --- indeed these phenomena are likely linked. Here, however, SST changes in the North Atlantic are held fixed and cannot be implicated as the root cause. We conclude that while the simulated early winter relationship between circulation over the BKS and Eurasian SAT is robust and consistent with expectations of temperature advection, it does not favour one sign or another when forced with Arctic sea-ice loss. Instead, the circulation response to human-induced sea ice loss and the average (human-induced) circulation response to variable sea-ice loss, which together we refer to as the robust response, is a more pan-Arctic increase in geopotential heights in ND that are not localized or particularly strong over the sensitive BKS region (supp fig?).
