Previous studies reported that the prolonged warm SSTAs in the NEP are usually passively triggered by atmospheric high-pressure anomalies. In this study, results show that the early winter positive SSTAs can actively reverse the high-pressure anomalies into low-pressure anomalies within the whole troposphere through diabatic heating and transient eddy vorticity forcing. However, when the positive SSTAs appear in mid-winter, the atmospheric preconditioning of warm air temperature anomalies related to the high-pressure anomalies prevents oceanic thermodynamic and dynamics feedback onto the atmosphere, which results in no reversal of the high-pressure anomalies. Therefore, the atmospheric state is an important factor in initiating the mid-latitude oceanic feedback to the atmosphere.</p>","PeriodicalId":12523,"journal":{"name":"Geophysical Research Letters","volume":"52 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1029/2025GL115562","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143939412","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For the same level of bio-cohesion, increasing the near-bed turbulence diminished deposition. For the vegetated channel, as bio-cohesion increased, particles were easily resuspended around individual stems due to the enhanced exposure effect, expanding the regions where deposition was excluded and leading to a more heterogeneous spatial distribution of deposition.
