Environmental conditions for polar low formation and development over the Nordic Seas: study of January cases based on the Arctic System Reanalysis

The sparse observational network over the Arctic region makes severe storms such as polar lows (PLs) still hard to predict. To improve their forecasting and detection, it is of great importance to gain better understanding of their formation and development. Therefore, we have analyzed the environme...
