Heat waves (HWs) can cause large socioeconomic and environmental impacts. The
observed increases in their frequency, intensity and duration are projected to continue with …

Ocean warming, primarily resulting from the escalating levels of greenhouse gases in the
atmosphere, leads to a rise in the temperature of the Earth's oceans. These gases act as …

Abstract The Antarctic Peninsula (AP) experienced a new extreme warm event and record-
high surface melt in February 2022, rivaling the recent temperature records from 2015 and …

The Extraordinary March 2022 East Antarctica “Heat” Wave. Part I: Observations and
Meteorological Drivers in: Journal of Climate Volume 37 Issue 3 (2024) Jump to Content …

Antarctic atmospheric rivers (ARs) are driven by their synoptic environments and lead to
profound and varying impacts along the coastlines and over the continent. The definition …

Abstract The Ross Ice Shelf (RIS) experiences surface melt events in summer, which could
accelerate ice loss and destabilize the ice sheet in a warming world. This study links the …

We calculate a regional surface “melt potential” index (MPI) over Antarctic ice shelves that
describes the frequency (MPI-freq;%) and intensity (MPI-int; K) of daily maximum summer …

We assess temperature and moisture transport in and around the Antarctic Peninsula (AP)
associated with atmospheric blocking over two domains, one located to the west (150–90° …

Abstract The Southern Annular Mode (SAM) describes the annular or zonal component of
the large-scale atmospheric circulation in the Southern Hemisphere (SH) extratropics and …

Abstract The Antarctica Peninsula (AP) has experienced more frequent and intense surface
melting recently, jeopardizing the stability of ice shelves and ultimately leading to ice loss …
