Is this the return of the Arctic Dipole?

[12Patrick]

The Arctic Dipole is a low pressure weather system situated over the North Pole. It pulls more warm water in through the Bering strait and it pushes ice out the Fram strait while sitting there grinding the ice up like the blades on a blender to bits and pieces. It is one of the events that lead to record low ice extent in 2007... Question is how long will this one last and will it lead to another record low extent this year? Time will tell...

Sorry to be frivolous - but I've always wanted to say this, and a brand new thread is just too good an opportunity to miss....

No, no,no. the arctic is a monopole  !

Funny stuff right there so do 2 monopoles make a dipole?

This isn't worth a thread of its own, as its relevance will fade fairly quickly.

This is a comment that fits in fine with the 2015 Melting Season thread.

I'm not going to keep locking these threads, Patrick. At one point I will simply remove them, as I have enough work as it is.
