Disentangling Anthropogenic Effects on Southern Hemisphere Circulation and Surface Climate: A Multi‐Model Large Ensemble Approach

By |

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.

Greening rates are sensitive to methodology and biology; comment to Sustained greening of the Antarctic Peninsula observed from satellites [Commentary]

By |

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…

Planetary energy budget during abrupt glacial climate events set by Atlantic Ocean heat valve

By |

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.
