• Arctic–midlatitude dynamical linkages and jet stream variability
• Land–atmosphere interactions and the persistence of regional climate anomalies
• Nonlinear circulation responses to climate forcing
• Hierarchical modeling and dynamical mechanism attribution
• Proxy-constrained variability in the Arctic and High Mountain Asia
