📄 Polar winter climate change: strong local effects from sea ice loss, widespread consequences from warming seas

✍️ Tuomas Naakka et al.

🔗 doi.org/10.5194/acp-...

Abstract. Decreasing sea ice cover and warming sea surface temperatures (SSTs) impact the climate at both poles in uncertain ways. We aim to reduce the uncertainty by comparing output of 41-year-long ...

How to trace the origins of short-lived atmospheric species: an Arctic example

CRiceS H2020 @crices-h2020.bsky.social · Jun 23

Tracing arctic aerosols:
a study led by Anderson Da Silva and colleagues has cast doubt on the reliability of traditional backward-modeling approaches. The team set up a new modeling protocol:
