Abstract. Sea surface wind perturbations over sea surface temperature (SST) cold anomalies over the Kashevarov Bank (KB) of the Okhotsk Sea are analyzed using satellite (AMSR-E and QuikSCAT) data during the summer-autumn period of 2006–2009. It is shown, that frequency of cases of wind speed decreasing over a cold spot in August–September reaches up to 67%. In the cold spot center SST cold anomalies reached 10.5 °C and wind speed lowered down to ~7 m s−1 relative its value on the periphery. The wind difference between a periphery and a centre of the cold spot is proportional to SST difference with the correlations 0.5 for daily satellite passes data, 0.66 for 3-day mean data and 0.9 for monthly ones. For all types of data the coefficient of proportionality consists of ~0.3 m s−1 on 1 °C.

In this study possible changes in sea surface temperature (SST) caused by passage of polar lows and analyzed. Polar lows are extreme atmospheric phenomena inherent to high latitudes. They develop sea surface wind speeds from 15 m/s up to hurricane force values and are characterized by small sizes (on average, 300 km) and lifetimes (less than two days), which complicates their detection and studies. It is assumed that as in case of tropical cyclones, which may considerably lower SST due to intense mixing and entrainment of colder waters to the ocean upper mixed layer, polar lows could similarly influence SST. Moreover, in the high latitude areas, where salt stratification may be present instead of temperature stratification, SST may increase due to mixing with deeper warmer layer. In this study 330 polar lows were analyzed using satellite passive microwave radiometer measurements of SST. In result, 47 cases when average SST values changed in polar low forcing areas were found. Out of these cases, in six cases SST increase of at least 0.5 °С was found, and in fifteen cases SST decrease of at least 0.5 °С was found. This indicates that upper ocean response to polar lows is quite rare phenomenon, which should be further analyzed along with its possible role in the ocean-ice-atmosphere system.
