- Deep freeze in Arctic Europe sends power prices soaring Thu, 2 Dec 21, 1:00amIt’s so cold, even Norwegians refuse to ski!
- Satellites Reveal Arctic Rivers are Changing Faster than We Thought Tue, 30 Nov 21, 5:00pmNew analysis integrating data from satellites, river gauges and hydrologic models reveals Arctic rivers are discharging much more water than previously thought...
- Early Arctic Freeze Threatens to Strand Ships. Wed, 17 Nov 21, 5:00amSome 20 ships are either stuck or struggling to sail, as waters in the East Siberia Sea froze earlier than in recent years
- Black carbon aerosols heating Arctic: Large contribution from mid-latitude biomass burning Fri, 5 Nov 21, 8:00pmhe year-to-year spring variation in Arctic black carbon (BC) aerosol abundance is strongly correlated with biomass burning in the mid-latitudes. Moreover, current models underestimate the contribution of BC from biomass…
- How the Sun Controls Arctic Ice and Temperatures part 3 Sun, 31 Oct 21, 4:00amPart 3 on controls on Arctic sea ice. Although sunspot cycles do not add enough energy to explain the Arctic's warming, the sun and sunspot cycles do explain redistribution of heat from the Tropics to Arctic and resulting...
