Future loss of Arctic sea-ice cover could drive a substantial decrease in California’s rainfall

Persistent atmospheric ridging in the North Pacific steered storms away and led to the California drought of 2012-16. Here the authors use simulations to show that sea-ice changes trigger reorganization of tropical convection resulting in drying over California.
