Southern Hemisphere (SH) circulation and surface climate changes are emerging in recent decades. For example, in most seasons, the SH Hadley cell edge and the eddy-driven jet stream have shifted […] The post Disentangling Anthropogenic Effects on Southern Hemisphere Circulation and Surface Climate: A Multi‐Model Large Ensemble Approach appeared first on British Antarctic Survey.
Changes in sea ice concentration (SIC) and derived sea ice extent have been monitored using microwave radiometers since the late 1970s, providing information about the polar response to climate change, […] The post Sensitivity of the Bootstrap sea ice concentration algorithm to surface parameters in the Antarctic marginal ice zone using passive microwave retrievals appeared…
Climate change is driving vegetation expansion in polar regions. Roland et al.1 report a 14-fold greening trend across the Antarctic Peninsula region since the 1980s, based on satellite data. However, […] The post Greening rates are sensitive to methodology and biology; comment to Sustained greening of the Antarctic Peninsula observed from satellites [Commentary] appeared first…
During Pleistocene ice ages, abrupt climate changes co-occurred with switches in Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) strength. The global impact and characteristic north-south temperature pattern of these events is typically […] The post Planetary energy budget during abrupt glacial climate events set by Atlantic Ocean heat valve appeared first on British Antarctic Survey.
South Cambridgeshire approved the solar farm, which is expected to provide power for thousands of homes
Wildfires are becoming increasingly frequent and intense under ongoing climate change, with the potential to emit and transport particles, from black carbon to nutrient-bearing aerosols, into remote and fragile ecosystems […] The post Arctic transport of North American and Canadian wildfire aerosols appeared first on British Antarctic Survey.
