The decline of Arctic sea ice is an integral part of anthropogenic climate change. Sea-ice loss is already having a significant impact on Arctic communities and ecosystems. Its role as …
This chapter assesses the state of physical, biological and social knowledge concerning the Arctic and Antarctic ocean and cryosphere, how they are affected by climate change, and …
The possibility that Arctic sea ice loss weakens mid-latitude westerlies, promoting more severe cold winters, has sparked more than a decade of scientific debate, with apparent …
Polar amplification–the phenomenon where external radiative forcing produces a larger change in surface temperature at high latitudes than the global average–is a key aspect of …
Arctic amplification (AA) is a coupled atmosphere-sea ice-ocean process. This understanding has evolved from the early concept of AA, as a consequence of snow-ice line …
Pronounced changes in the Arctic environment add a new potential driver of anomalous weather patterns in midlatitudes that affect billions of people. Recent studies of these …
Abstract Purpose of Review Dynamic manifestations of climate change, ie those related to circulation, are less well understood than are thermodynamic, or temperature-related …
Alexander, MA, US Bhatt, JE Walsh, MS Timlin, JS Miller, and JD Scott, 2004: The atmospheric response to realistic Arctic sea ice anomalies in an AGCM during winter. J …
Arctic and Antarctic sea-ice extent are both projected to dramatically decline over the coming century. The effects of Arctic sea-ice loss are not limited to the northern high latitudes, and …
