Arctic Coast Erosion Linked to Large-Scale Climate Variability

by J. Sprintall 10 April 202015 November 2021

Changes in rates of Arctic coastal erosion detected from multi-decadal measurements are attributed to the shorter duration in the winter sea ice coverage and large-scale changes in the wind patterns.

Climate Change Is Intensifying Arctic Ocean Currents

by Hannah Thomasy 3 March 202020 July 2022

Melting ice means that strong Arctic winds create more energetic currents in the Beaufort Gyre.

Polar Stratosphere Resolves North Atlantic Jet “Tug of War”

by Alessandra Giannini 25 September 201929 March 2022

Getting the polar stratosphere right is critical in the simulation of North Atlantic climate change, which is shaped by the interaction of Arctic Amplification and tropical upper tropospheric warming.

How Will the Jet Stream Respond to Future Warming?

by Terri Cook 20 May 201912 January 2022

Simulations that test different approaches to modeling radiation suggest a commonly used scheme fails to fully capture changes in midlatitude circulation associated with climate change.
