Das ist richtig für die Mittelwerte. Richtig sibirisch würde es unter heutigen Bedingen v.a. in Skandinavien. Dies hängt davon ab, wie weit das Meereis nach Süden vorstößt. Bemerkenswert ist, dass selbst mit deutlich erhöhten CO2-Werten (580 ppm, RCP4.5) das Meereis weit nach Süden reicht.

Ein Kollaps der warmen Meeresströmung im Atlantik (#AMOC) hatte extreme Auswirkungen auf Europa. Neuere Simulationen zeigen, dass dies auch unter hohen CO2-Werten (RCP4.5) der Fall wäre. Die Frage ob und wann es zu einem Kollaps kommt, ist noch umstritten.

The heatwave in Sodankylä has now lasted for 26 days.

This is probably not only the longest heatwave in Lapland, but also the longest heatwave ever observed in Finland.

Note that here a heatwave is defined with 3 consecutive days above 90th percentile, which is scientifically robust definition.

Time series graph showing the duration of longest heatwave event in Sodankylä Tähtelä. The values range generally between 0 and 14, but in 2025 the heatwave has now lasted for 26 days.

Diese ganze Story stinkt zum Himmel. Bojanowski konfrontiert niemanden von den Grünen, der SPD oder einen Umweltverband mit diesen Vorwürfen, sondern holt bei der "Initiative Transparente Demokratie" eine Stellungnahme ein - ein Verein, der GERADE EINMAL ZWEI WOCHEN EXISTIERT?

Struggling with your PhD synopsis? ✍️ Try this - The reverse-order approach! 📚🧠

@tuulitoivonen.bsky.social and @digigeolab.bsky.social have been using the reverse-order approach to structure article-based PhD synopses — and it works!

🔗 Read the full story here: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Why you should write your PhD thesis backwards

By considering the central statement of your entire PhD, you can structure your writing around it, says Tuuli Toivonen.
