Overall, the recent trends in Arctic sea ice cannot be linked to simple indices of climate variability 22. In this paper, we examine the contribution of the atmospheric circulation to Arctic sea ...

The scientists named this climate (atmospheric circulation) pattern, the circum-Arctic wave (CAW) pattern, as a driver for enhancing the co-occurrence of heatwaves in Europe and wildfires in ...

Dr. Francis presented new research in review for publication, which shows that Arctic sea ice loss may significantly affect the upper-level atmospheric circulation, slowing its winds and ...

atmospheric circulation. Ding knew from earlier work that tropical circulation can affect seasonal variability of sea ice in the Arctic. Under normal conditions—in other words, when climate chan ...

The study found that low-frequency large-scale atmospheric circulation in the Arctic significantly influences AR activity. "In recent decades, ARs have been transporting more water vapor to the ...

A team of NASA and university scientists has detected an ongoing reversal in Arctic Ocean circulation triggered by atmospheric circulation changes that vary on decade-long time scales. The results ...

Atmospheric rivers are inherently warmer than the surrounding Arctic environment and can ... freshwater into the ocean can also disrupt ocean circulation patterns, exacerbating global warming.

The authors provide evidence of a process by which … natural variability of the Arctic atmospheric circulation may have contributed as much as 30 to 50 per cent of the decline. “Even so ...

Here's how it works. Normally, cold Arctic air is confined to the polar region by a strong atmospheric circulation around the pole. (That's the polar vortex.) Last year the polar vortex ...
