Through data analysis and numerical simulations, this study reveals the winter Arctic Warming Pattern (AWP), characterized by anticyclonic anomalies over the North Pacific and the Urals, which plays a pivotal role in linking the Arctic and tropics. The AWP is significantly correlated with the tropic...
