1. Thomas Mote:

   Changes in sea ice influence ocean currents and the jet stream in ways that can affect weather in lower latitudes, including the United States and Europe.

2. Jason Furtado:

   When the polar vortex is weak, or an SSW event occurs, then the jet stream will tend to weakened, move further south, and become' wavier,' the effect of these changes is for warmer than normal air to move into the Arctic Amplification, colder weather to enter North America and Europe/Asia, and more extreme weather and storms overall in the middle latitudes( e.g., snowstorms).

3. Sam Lillo:

   The faster jet stream holds all the potential for stronger storm systems and severe weather.

4. Sam Lillo:

5. Jason Furtado:

   In the stratosphere, the polar vortex typically recovers in strength within a couple of weeks of the peak of the event, however, in the troposphere, the effects of the SSW event( e.g., a further south jet stream, cold and stormy weather) can last for up to 8 weeks. So, these events, which can evolve quickly, can have lasting impacts on the winter weather patterns in the troposphere.
