Short summary
Cold Arctic air flowing from sea ice onto the warmer ocean waters rapidly warms, moistens, and forms clouds and precipitation. These events shape the Arctic climate but are difficult to observe and model. Particularly the role of large-scale sinking motion during these events is not fully understood. Using rare aircraft data and simulations to track an air mass for two days, we show that strong downward motion suppresses cloud growth, limits and delays precipitation, and reduces cloud lifetimes.
